Radionuclide Ventricular Function Studies

This is the fourth and final article in the nuclear cardiology series. After reading and studying this article, the nuclear medicine technologist will be able to: m compare and contrast radio nuclide firstpass and gated equilibrium ventricular function studies including parameters measured, instrumentation, computer methods, and procedural details, and (2) discuss basic normal and abnormal results including ejection fraction, ventricular volumes, and wall motion.
