What else can I help you with?
What test measures the flow of blood through the heart during activity is evaluated by injecting thallium into the bloodstream?
The test you are referring to is called a thallium stress test. This test helps evaluate the blood flow to the heart during physical activity by using a radioactive form of thallium injected into the bloodstream. It can help identify areas of reduced blood flow in the heart muscle, indicating possible blockages in the coronary arteries.
How is thallium scanning performed?
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
What is the composition of thallium?
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.
What is a persantine thallium study?
A persantine thallium study, also known as a cardiolite stress test, is a diagnostic imaging test used to assess blood flow to the heart muscle. It involves injecting a radioactive substance called thallium or a similar agent while the heart is at rest and then again while it is stressed with medication like persantine. Images are taken to assess blood flow abnormalities, which can indicate coronary artery disease.
How can you explain a thallium stress test to a patient?
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.
What does thallium smell like?
Thallium is a heavy metal that is known to be odorless. There is no distinct smell associated with thallium.
If thallium has an oxidation number of 1 what is the formula for thallium carbonate?
Thallium has an oxidation number of +1. Therefore, the formula for thallium carbonate would be Tl2CO3.
Whats the atomic mass of thallium 203 and thallium 205?
the overall atomic mass is 204.37, but for thallium 203 it is 203, and for thallium 205, it is 205.
Does thallium isotope contain iodine?
No, thallium isotopes do not contain iodine. Thallium isotopes are variants of the element thallium, while iodine is a separate element with its own isotopes.
What is the name of Tl2Se3?
Thallium(III) Selenide
How much does thallium weight?
I think thallium weight about 189
How many shells are in thallium?
Thallium has 6 electron shells.
