MPI (Myocardial Perfusion Imaging)

Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI) is a non-invasive test that evaluates blood flow to the heart muscle. Using a small amount of radioactive material and specialized cameras, MPI shows how well blood is reaching different parts of the heart. It helps detect areas with reduced blood flow, which can indicate blockages or heart disease. The procedure often involves stress (exercise or medication) and rest images, allowing doctors to assess the heart’s perfusion under different conditions. MPI provides valuable information about heart health, helping guide diagnosis and treatment decisions for conditions like coronary artery disease.
