Hi Tracey,

A neuclear med test is a x-ray with radioactive material. It's done for cancer studies, heart studies, rsd, because the radioactive material shows up during the test and will show 'hot spots' like bone changes, tumors, condition of the heart and veins. A couple come and visit from Oregon, where we are from, he is in neu. med. dept. at hospital, and she is a conselor. They both have been so supportive. Take care, sorry for the late reply. loretta
