Nuclear Cardiology

Our Nuclear Cardiology Department is at our First Hill Clinic and is led by Dr. Philip Massey with Dr. Keiko Aikawa.

“We are very excited to offer our patients a state-of-the-art stress test lab to aid in the detection and management of heart disease” stated Dr. Massey. “Our nuclear cardiology lab allows us to have an accurate method to diagnose ischemic heart disease and to measure heart function. Now we can perform both treadmill and non-treadmill stress testing with the latest imaging techniques. This will improve patient care by giving us a sensitive method to detect coronary artery disease and will streamline patient care by allowing referring providers more rapid access to cardiac stress testing.”
