Heart Damage Scan With Pumping Measurement

Wisconsin rates for HCPCS 78468

A nuclear scan in which a small amount of radioactive tracer is injected into a vein and gathers in areas of heart muscle that have been recently damaged, so those areas stand out on the pictures. The study also measures how much blood the heart pushes out with each beat as the tracer first travels through it. It is used after a suspected heart attack to show where the damage is and how well the heart is still pumping.
