Cooper and Inspira Cardiac Care is proud to announce the launch of its first cardiac stress PET scans, an advancement in cardiac imaging. This nuclear stress test provides a more detailed and accurate evaluation of coronary artery disease, allowing for enhanced diagnosis and improved patient care.
Cardiac stress PET scans use positron emission tomography (PET) technology to assess blood flow to the heart muscle, providing higher resolution images than traditional stress tests. This advanced approach lets physicians detect subtle abnormalities and assess heart function with greater precision, ultimately leading to more personalized and effective treatment strategies.
The introduction of cardiac stress PET scans at Cooper is the result of collaboration between the Cardiology and Radiology teams, whose dedication and expertise have made this innovative test option available to patients. By integrating cutting-edge imaging technology into cardiac diagnostics, Cooper continues to lead the way in providing exceptional cardiovascular care.
With cardiac stress PET scans now part of Cooper’s diagnostic toolkit, patients at risk for coronary artery disease can benefit from more accurate assessments and tailored treatment plans, reinforcing our commitment to excellence in heart health.
Congratulations to Vivek T. Kulkarni, MD, MHS, EdM, FACC, clinical cardiologist, Director, Nuclear Cardiology, and team for launching this important initiative.
