Question:

Using the topic around - "If a drug is not available for a diagnostic imaging procedure, the clinician will switch to another imaging procedure." This relates to when a radiopharmaceutical for a nuclear medicine procedure is not available due to shortages of the raw materials, patients must go to other imaging studies such as cardiac echo (ultrasound); Cardiac Cat Scan; or Diagnostic Interventional Cath Lab. The belief is that clicians will chose another study and once they have chosen to move to the new procedure for diagnosis, they won't return to the nuclear imaging study as originally wanted prior to the drug shortage.
