Heart PET Scan, Blood Flow And Viability

Rhode Island rates for HCPCS 78433

A PET scan of the heart that uses two different radioactive tracers in the same session: one shows how much blood is reaching each part of the heart muscle, and the other shows whether that muscle is still alive and using energy. Comparing the two tells doctors whether a poorly supplied area would recover if blood flow were restored, or whether it is scar tissue that would not.
