Hmm, that's odd. I just underwent a nuclear stress test. Started with an MRI, then onto the treadmill until my heartrate hit a target number, then another MRI, this time with the nuclear stuff injected. Doc said they *can* get your HR up with a shot, but he would rather have his patients on the treadmill.
