Cardiac Perfusion Scan is a test to estimate the amount of blood reaching the heart muscle during rest and exercise. This may also be called a thallium or technetium sestamibi (MiBi) scan. It is typically done to determine the cause of unexplained chest pain or to determine the location and amount of injured heart muscle after a heart attack.
