Coworker had thallium stress test-Silly?

This may be a silly question but a coworker was out today and I found out they had a thallium stress test.
I remember when my nana had the test she couldn't be near my niece or nephew for 48 hours. Does this run the same for pregnant women too?
Should I avoid contact with her tomorrow? How much distance should I keep? My desk is probably 30 feet from hers but I occasionally have to hand her papers and help her with things which would put me less than a foot from her.
Am I being a paranoid preggo?

(I am 24 weeks)

I have no idea, but I would call my doctor before I took a chance

According to a document from a cardiologist, people who have that test are radioactive for 48 hours and should not go closer than 4 feet from a pregnant women and children under age two.

After each injection of the radioisotope you will have to sit and wait some time (45-60 minutes) to allow the radioisotope time to be captured by the heart. Please be aware that after the test you will be emitting a low dose of radiation for up to 48 hours. Hence we advice you not to be in close proximity (closer than 4 feet) to pregnant women and \ or children under the age of 2 years.

Thanks. I'll keep my distance just to be safe!

My dad just had this done today and one of the nurses told him to stay away from me for 48 hours. The other nurse said to not come within a certain distance. So, I don't think I'll chance it and wait a couple of days before I see him. As far as your co worker, I would stay as far away as possible.
