This test determines if your coronary arteries are supplying your heart with enough blood. The cardiolite/technetium is injected through a vein in your arm. Your blood carries the tracer to your heart muscle and through the coronary arteries. Because technetium is a radioactive tracer, a nuclear medicine camera is able to detect its distribution in your heart.
