The test was interesting, and the doctor patiently answered my technical questions. He had a great depth of knowledge about the science behind the nuclear imaging and was willing to talk about it while we did the prep. Overall it was a very good experience. I wish I had been in a little better shape for the treadmill but the weather and work have interfered with my exercise schedule.
