Heart Pumping Function Scan (Gated Blood Pool)

Nebraska rates for HCPCS 78472

A small amount of radioactive tracer is attached to the patient's own red blood cells and tracked with a special camera timed to the heartbeat, producing a moving picture of the heart chambers as they fill and empty. The study calculates how much blood the heart pumps with each beat and evaluates how the heart walls move, either at rest or after a stress trigger.
