Ask the doctor: Is a nuclear imaging stress test the same thing as an exercise stress test or exercise echocardiogram?

I had some chest pain on vacation. The doctor told me to have a nuclear imaging stress test when I got home. My physician sent me for a treadmill test. But the cardiologist had me do an exercise echocardiagram on a bicycle. Are these tests the same?
