usually done after an exercise stress test or after injection of a vasodilator, a drug to enlarge the blood vessels, like dipyridamole (Persantine). Thallium is injected, and the scan is done then and again four hours (and possibly 24 hours) later
Thallium is an element on the periodic table. It's atomic number is 81.Because it is an element, I don't understand what you mean by "its formula".The symbol for Thallium is Tl, so the formula would be Tl...If you want the formula for a compound with thallium, that's a different story.It is not a diatomic element, if that's what you meant.For more information on thallium, go tohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thallium
Thallium was discovered by Sir William Crookes, an English chemist, in 1861.
Tl2CO3
The thallium scan is performed in conjunction with an exercise stress test. At the end of the stress test (once the patient has reached the highest level of exercise he or she can comfortably achieve), a small amount of the harmless radioisotope.
why is environmental scanning is important
The most stable isotope of thallium is thallium-205, which has 81 protons and 124 neutrons. Thallium in its elemental form is a soft, malleable, heavy metal that is typically found in nature combined with other elements.
A thallium stress test is a type of nuclear scanning test or myocardial perfusion imaging test. It shows how well blood flows to the heart muscle. The test is usually done along with an exercise stress test on a treadmill or bicycle. When a patient reaches his or her maximum level of exercise, a small amount of radioactive substance called thallium is injected into the bloodstream. It shows where the heart muscle is not getting a normal blood supply.
Thallium is a conductor due to its metallic properties. It has a high electrical conductivity which allows the flow of electricity through it.
The atomic mass of thallium-203 is 203 amu (atomic mass units), and the atomic mass of thallium-205 is 205 amu.
Thallium is not magnetic in its pure form because it does not have unpaired electrons that can align and create a magnetic field. However, thallium compounds may exhibit magnetic properties depending on their structure and chemical composition.
I think thallium weight about 189
Thallium has 81 protons.
Thallium is a heavy metal that is known to be odorless. There is no distinct smell associated with thallium.
Thallium has an oxidation number of +1. Therefore, the formula for thallium carbonate would be Tl2CO3.
The orbital notation for thallium is [Xe}4f14.5d10.6s2.6p1.
The density of thallium is 11.85 g/cm3. (Wikipedia)
Thallium is a solid metal at room temperature.
