Quoting: nutmeg Right before the technician inserted the IV, I said, "I will be able to remove my mask for the test? Correct?" She said, "No. Our policy is that you will wear a mask throughout the test." I left. These were the instructions I receive prior to my appointment: Instructions: You will start walking on a treadmill. At regular intervals, the difficulty of the exercise will increase until you achieve the target heart rate. Then, a second dose of radioactive tracer will be injected into the IV. Your heart rate, EKG and blood pressure will be monitored throughout the test. About 30 minutes after exercising, you will be asked to again lie very still under the camera with both arms over your head for about 15-20 minutes. The camera will record images that show blood flow through your heart during exercise. These images will be compared to the first set. There's a different version of this test. Instead of a treadmill, they use a drug intravenously to put the heart under stress. The other way, you have to stop immediately, and don't move while they image your heart flow with the ultrasound. They have lots of free snacks afterwards, almost enough for a lunch. And if you go to the airport immediately afterwards, it's possible to set off some alarms. That's why they give you a special paper to explain why you can do that.
