Nuclear Cardiology

The University of Chicago Medical Center’s Nuclear Cardiology program is staffed by three nationally and internationally renowned cardiologists who are responsible for developing the nuclear and radiation guidelines used internationally in outlining the use of nuclear tracers to diagnose and monitor a variety of heart diseases, especially coronary artery disease. Our nuclear cardiology experts focus on appropriateness and are devoted to applying the right test for the right patient at the right time.

The University of Chicago Medical Center at 150 E. Huron will provide access to:

• Track record of unparalleled quality and attention to detail to improve the accuracy of the techniques.
• 3 decades of research that has increased the utility of perfusion imaging and ventricular function assessment
• Techniques to improve detection of unbalanced and balanced ischemia with SPECT scanning
• Methods to obtain reproducible and precise measures of ejection fraction.
