A nuclear stress test generally takes 3⁠–4 hours . Although the person experiences exposure to a small amount of radiation, medical experts generally consider the test safe. Read on to learn more about nuclear imaging tests, such as their benefits, how they work, and their risks.

The tracer will usually be gone on its own within a few hours or days . You can encourage this process to go faster by making sure to stay well hydrated after your nuclear stress test. Everyone is a little different, but people generally need to drink about 2 liters of water every day.

You can travel after diagnostic scans. Depending on which scan we perform, there may be a small amount of radiation in your body. This may set off the very sensitive detectors at airports, ferry ports, and train stations.

The risk of radiation exposure to other people after a nuclear stress test is low. However, some healthcare providers recommend no close contact with children or babies for one to two days after a nuclear stress test. Out of an abundance of caution, you may also want to avoid close contact with pets.

Generally, most of the radioactivity will be eliminated from your body within 24 hours. What differentiates elements?

Is it dangerous to be around others, especially around children, pregnant women or animals? Generally there is no risk in exposing others to meaningful amounts of radioactivity from diagnostic Nuclear Medicine imaging exams.

Fast for at least 4 hours before the test. Wear comfortable shoes, especially if the stress test is based on exercise. The patient should not be around babies or small children for the rest of the day because of residual radiation from your exam.

After a nuclear stress test, you can generally return to your normal daily activities. You may want to shower, and it's recommended that you drink plenty of fluids, wash your hands frequently, and avoid children and babies for 1 to 2 days.

What should I avoid after a nuclear stress test? Avoid close contact with children, babies, and people who are pregnant for 1 to 2 days after the test. Follow the doctor's guidance on any restrictions related to food, medication, or exercise.

Almost all of the radiation will be gone from your body by the morning after your scan. We recommend you avoid spending extended hours in close proximity with pregnant women and small children, such as sleeping overnight next to them. Otherwise, you may carry out your normal day-to-day activities.
