“Can I be around children after I take my nuclear stress test?”
I'm going to have a nuclear stress test at the end of this week, but I understand that radiation is involved. Is it okay for me to be around my children after the exam takes place? Or do I have to stay away from them because of the radiation?

Yes, it is okay to be around children after your test. The amount and energy of the radiation you will receive for this test is very small and decays by half every 6 hrs.
