Rest Thallium

Rest thallium or the "Resting Myocardial perfusion imaging" is commonly performed to see the blood flow into the heart's muscles where the patient's physical or medical conditions do not allow for stress myocardial perfusion imaging or stress thallium. The term rests myocardial perfusion imaging is more appropriate to name as any institute hardly uses thallium-201 and most of the centres use 99mTc-MIBI because of better image quality, low radiation burden and ease of availability.

Test information: Fasting: 4-6 hours

Reporting: Within 2 hours*

  • 4 to 6 hours of fasting is required on the test day.
  • Please carry all medical documents, including doctor referral, previous reports such as Echo, ECG, Angiography, MPI etc.
  • Please wear comfortable clothing, and male patients are advised to shave their chest.
  • Please carry some oily food such as butter-cheese-sandwich, puri-sabzi, parantha-subzi etc. This helps clear the background near the myocardium and improves the image quality.
  • This is a long procedure and may take about 4 - 6 hours to complete if performed in a one-day protocol. Some patients may choose a two-day protocol where stress or rest parts are performed on separate days.
  • Please carry identification proof such as an Aadhar card, pan card etc.
