Should A Person Be Isolated Post Thallium Heart Stress Test?
I had a heart stress test and they used thallium, the nurse told me to stay away from children for two weeks and my husband and other adults for 2 days, should I go to work? (I work in an office full of younger women and one pregnant woman)...what about my little dog? Very concerned that I don t cause anyone problems.

Hi,
You need to be isolated from pregnant women and small kids for one, and at the most 2 days of the test, for you have residual of the radioactive substance in your body. The people need to be protected from exposure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
