NUCLEAR STRESS TEST ❤️ HOW TO PERFORM | HOW TO PROCESS 

You don’t know how much I am appreciating these informational videos!! It’s like a virtual volunteer experience 🤩 I look forward to more NMT videos to brush up on before my program interview.

Such a great and detailed explanation! Thank you so much Vanessa!!!!

Thank Vanessa. I go in tomorrow for my stress test and I was a bit nervous but seeing this really helps. I pray that they are as passionate and on it as you are. I enjoy your passion. I'll be showing this to my wife as well. Keep up the great work.

Hello you NEED to explain the risks associated with the Lexiscan "chemical" stress test , nothing mentioned here patients need to be informed.

I had this done today. You explained it very well. Beautiful video.

Thanks Ma'am Vanessa Woods, you have reiterated well with poise the important points of vertical, horizontal, elongated heart aspects images as well as the comparisons image of stressed and rested heart and the doses, it's significance, very well explained on nuclear cardiac stress test details, showing that technology matters in healthcare. Thanks

Thank you so much for an excellent video to help me understand, somewhat, what I am to expect. Great job...

Thank you, Im scheduled march 20th for one and this has helped me tremendously understand more .

Thank you for being sooooooo detailed. You are the best!

Wow what a great insight on nuclear stress test. I love it

You're amazing too Vanessa; excellent job! Thanks!

You’re the best. There really aren’t enough NMT youtube channels out there. I find your videos to be a huge help, plus you’re beautiful! Lol, so thank you again. This will help me finally get my competency for this study.

Thank you for this I love when you do these videos on NM!

Learning all about the cardiac system and constantly doing stress tests at my clinical site! This video was extremely helpful! Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you for such a great video. I am scheduled for a treadmill nuclear stress test on 10/29 after having a coronary calcium screening text that revealed issues in the LAD.

Wow good info my coworker is about to go for this procedure I was here to see what the progress entails, he has a inserted defibrillator in his chest its a fascinating thing.

Great job explaining so nicely! 👍

No your amazing thank you for the tour of the test tske care keep up the great Tutorial of the test now I know what to expect

I loved how you explained this! I get to do a lot of these in my clinical site right now.

Thank you so much Vanessa for in-depth knowledge on cardiac stress test

This is an "Excellent Explanation" of this testing procedure.

Cool stuff! I'm getting mine next week! 🎉 ❤

Vanessa this is awesome. I start my first year clinicals February 11th and I am beyond nervous. I just want to do well. Please keep posting these videos. We appreciate them!

I work in Nuclear Cardiology also! Love seeing other NMTs 😊

Very informative and interesting. Great job and thanks for what you do.

i take my nuclear stress test this coming Thursday thanks for all the info

I loved the way you explained this study. This will help me a lot at my clinical site, I’m even taking notes of your explanation. Please keep uploading videos explaining how to perform each specific study. I am very curious about the renal flow and function and the bone scan. Thank you very much.

Do a video about what it has been like as a travel tech! I’ve been a NMT for 3 years and have always wondered what it’s like.

Good job..... nice and clear.. understandable

Just Amazing

hi, greetings from Asia Malaysia. This is a really educational, practical view for us patients. Even for some of us heart attack patients, we get to understand the steps behind, what the MO is looking for, and how we patients can prepare ahead. Wish your work success and keep creating more educational programs (where you can). Cheers.

This is awesome and super informative

Thanks Vanessa.

Very good explanation, thank you. Seems this should be part of a routine test at 50 yoa like a colonoscopy is. Preventative health care should be routine. What we have in the U.S. is Sick Care.

Hi there. So I've graduated from Medical Imaging and currently pursuing my masters in NM and I came across your channel today. I've seen a couple of your videos and I'm already loving them. I like how you keep things professional yet entertaining. Hoping to see a lot more content from you. Stay safe and have a good day

❤❤❤❤ Hey Vanessa, getting ready to apply to the program. Any tips on writing a memorable personal statement?

I am in loveeeeeee

I recently had this test, but was able to see this video before it. It gave me a good idea of what expect. Now just waiting for my cardiologist to give me the results and planned treatment.

Wow I have been told to take a nuclear stress test and watching the procedure I'm already feeling stressed out 🤯🥺😉🤭😄

Good job bringing awareness to the field and exam. Of note, and some of these can be subjective... for spect acquisition, positioning patient about one heart height from top FOV allows smaller collimator distance increasing resolution. Lung heart ratio can still be obtained with this positioning. The reader should take GI activity into consideration, thus allowing visualization of extracardiac activity and its possible influence on LV uptake. Placing the gut beyond FOV will not influence Compton Scatter of intense gut near the LV. This can give a false sense of negative influence. It will only allow the automatic software processing to find the LV more easily. Using the mask feature in Cedars can be necessary. I see your institution is using front back projection for image reconstruction.. This is prone to ramp filter artifact, larger imaging times/dose, and a need for a shorter azimuth for acceptable resolution. Iterative reconstruction is widely accepted as the current standard in SPECT. The version of Exeleris you have could display both if the reader is uncomfortable moving away from FBP images. Many readers out there are utilizing save screens to diagnose. This is unfortunate as it is left up to the technologist to correctly process and deliver all the data without allowing the reader full control over manipulation of the data. Many would find it too time consuming to learn and implement anyways! Normalizing rest/stress LV intensity and close attention to quantitative contours is key to accurate results. Anyways, just my 2cents...really appreciate your work on RU-vid making unclear medicine more clear to people!

Watching from Australia!

Thank you

I'm my final semester of my nuc med program and the stress test is my favourite study to do!

Just had one of these done along with other test over the last 3 years .. kept telling the cardio folks that something was wrong .. this latest nuclear stress test I had again showed me to be just fine! I told the cardio Dr that they were nuts and I could put myself into a heart attack on a treadmill .. and he believed me and did a heart cath .. I was 80% plugged!!!! The nuclear stress test did not show this at all. In a few days I will have a triple bypass. If I didn't push the issue I could have been dead from a heart attack. My cardio Dr was totally pissed that the stress test did not show this and told the imagining folks about what was found.

Thanks for your awesome video. I am scared about going inside a machine. How long i need to stay inside the machine ? You said 10 minutes first Then how many minutes later!!

you said in one of your videos that you wish you choose the bachelor route for NucMed. Could you tell us what other doors or opportunities are there if you had a bachelor?

Hello I’m currently a senior in high school and was planning on becoming an NMT. Would you recommend a bachelors degree over an associates? And another question was whether or not you need to major in nuclear medicine or if you could rather pick rad tech as your major and then do a 12 month nmt program? I understand that you are busy and ask that you please respond whenever you are free, there aren’t many resources for me to go to regarding this and I have less than two months to choose a college to go to. Stay safe.

I am so nervous to take my board exams!! Any advice?

Hi, My name is Judy from South Korea. Thank you for this video. It's really great for you to share this. Actually,.I am a nurse working in the same department in one of the prestigious hospitals, South Korea. Can we share some events or patients' cases while performing this procedure? I just want to share each other's experiences and expand our knowledge and something more.

I'm a NMT. What do you think about traveling and what state do you work?

I actually just had the Lexiscan stress test done today. I wish I had sen this before the test!

How would I know if there are defects in wall motion? Or abnormal wall motion?

Is their any side effects after the radioactive injection? I have swollen throat barely can swallow anything and some light bleeding down the the bottom and had no period for 9 years after my tube been taken out. Please need information

Im scared to take this test, someone just scared me

Thank you for the videos! I have a few questions for you... I am almost done with pre reqs for the program and I’m torn between nuc med and rad tech. Can you get extra certs after nuclear med program to do mri, ct, xrays ? Also, other than patients, do you mainly work by yourself most of the day? And are there night shifts available for nuc med or is it mostly a day time job?

Am so studying radiology and ultrasound (sonar)technology third level

❤

How much time is spent on this test

😯💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

I got to have one day after tomorrow I’m so scared I been having real bad chest pains it’s just effecting my every day life I’m 23 I been getting dizzy and light headed and my legs and arms been getting tingly and numb and I don’t know what’s cause my dad passed away from a beat attack at 33 and heart disease run in the family and I’m scared to do it

Hello can you provide nmt books plzz

What does it mean "ROI" ?

Hello Vanessa, I just noticed your last video was 3 years ago. Are you ok?🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

I’ve been interested in radiology for over 10 years. I have Aspergers, and know a lot about cars and skyscrapers and space and geography and animals. Your videos impress me. I see you have Instagram too. I’ll follow you there soon. You can follow me if you like, although my posts may or may not be your style.

Vanessa - I’m going for a nuclear stress test tomorrow & I’m so scared! Can I take a 1 mg. Xanax before I go for my high anxiety?😢

I'm having this done on February 26,2024. Me excercise my heart I won't do, they will lexscan medication for the doctor to see the ejection score for me before I will or not get the ICD in my heartbeat be normal.

I have a nuclear stress test. They told be one hour apx and no tread mill. So , they are lying to me ?

This seems rather haphazard if the tester gets to choose and create names. I would think the tester would be prompted for test areas and that these would have specific names that would make retrieval later a much easier task. It would make comparisons across patient easier to understand allowing knowledge collection..

What's your annual salary?

Are you a radiologist?

Ohh the irony in this video at 1:07 mark.

I'm supposed too have one April 20 but I read can cause fatal heart attack.no thanks

Just watching all the fast photo changes made me too stressed out to watch!

The nuclear is horrific

got foking lost lmao...

Can women wear a shirt

I give it a thumbs down. I understand watching the screen. But why not show the patient show there expression. Doing this test you forget to breath, you feel like you just hit turbo in your body, head hurts, neck hurts and know that radiation is going in your body. Which of you go to a public place like train stations or airport. You will have multiple police near you since they have a radiation detector on the body and will pick you up... 😂😂😂 Yeah multiple effect...

Why is the camera man foscusing on your ass? Seriously? This takes away from the seriouness of this topic!

I'm sending you hugs 🫂 . I have one next week. I'm a little calmer

I go in on Wednesday and Thursday why 2 days
