Would you put "dual isotope stress test" or "dual-isotope stress test"? I keep wanting to hyphenate "dual isotope" with the thought that it is acting as an adjective decribing the stress test, but every example I can find leaves it unhyphenated. For whatever reason, my thick head can't come up with the rationale. HELP! I transcribe for a cardiology practice, so it's kind of important, LOL!
Thanks!
