Nuclear stress images

[Brenda_2011]

Hi, Ed
We've been requesting my husband's records (images on a CD) from the two nuclear stress tests that he's done at this cardiologist office. Today, we stopped by that office and we were only given a 1-page screenshot which show 64 images (similar to this: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/449487_7).

For one test they gave us a CD which is showing only 9 images, but very different then the ones that were on the paper and they don't really say much. Weren't they supposed to have the 64 images on that CD?

Are there any other images or info that one would provide for this type of test?

Thanks again!

Good luck with everything! Keep us updated on how it goes.

gave up on the starch it gave me too many issues. I have stuck to no meat or dairy so far and will have a fasting blood test in 2 weeks to see the difference. I am due an appointment with a gastroenterologist soon because my cardiologist wants me scoped. I have to agree that I think I have something very odd going on with my digestive system which was going on before diet changes.

Thanks again. This doctor's office has lied to us so much that have lost al trust in them and we would've preferred to have these images on a CD....

By the way, how are you feeling? How is your new diet going?

I didnt get a copy, I just looked at them with the cardiologist.

Thanks! Yes, he had the same rest, then stress. Did you get these images on a CD?
The CD we got it only had 9 images and they were very different than the printed 1 page screenshot.

I don't know if they all do the scans the same way. I had 2 scans which were one hour apart. The first with my heart at rest and the second with my heart stressed and working hard. The second also involved being pumped with Nitro to fully dilate my arteries. Now for the Pics. I had 64 pics in total because 3 different angles of perspective were scanned. Short axis, vertical long Axis and the horizontal long axis. The short axis had 16 images from each scan (32 pics total). The vertical long axis had 8 images from each scan (16 total). The same was for the horizontal long axis. So for the 2 scans I had a total of 64 images.
