Radiologist, Nuclear Medicine ,  's  Response
All nuclear medicine tests ideally require the documentation of radio-activity injected to the patient. Here, the time and dose(radioactivity measured in millicuries) is mentioned. Its helps to quantify the radiation dose received to a patient for a particular procedure and also cumulative dose in the lifetime with other procedures.

Myoview is the brand name of the radio pharmaceutical/drug injected.
