Thallium scintigraphy is used to,

• Diagnose cardiovascular diseases,
• Determine viability of heart muscle after a heart attack,
• Determine relevance of chest pains with heart disease,
• Screen test diseases in patients who are at risk of cardiovascular disease
• Discover significance of vascular disease in patients with cardiovascular disease
• Predict the efficacy of treatment after coronary artery bypass surgery or drug therapy
• Detect if patients have had a heart attack or not, establish scope and severity of a previous heart attack.
