Background. Planar gated blood pool imaging (GBPI) has long proven to be useful for the
noninvasive assessment of ventricular function. From a practical viewpoint, gated blood pool …

Background Left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) is a major determinant of survival in
patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Comparative accuracy of numerous modalities …

Left-ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) can be computed from gated myocardial perfusion
SPECT studies using quantitative algorithms. The purpose of this study was to compare the …

The aim of this study was to assess the value of the left ventricular cavity-to-myocardium
count ratio (C/M ratio) of technetium-99m (Tc-99m) tetrofosmin single photon emission …

for cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. This study was designed to assess whether …

This work aims to analyze the influence of aminophylline in the pulmonary and hepatic
uptake of 99mTc-methoxyisobutil isonitrile (99mTc-MIBI). 72 patients were studied and a …

Equilibrium radionuclide angiography (ERNA) is the 'gold standard'for assessing left
ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The aim of the study was to determine whether the left …

The aim of this study was to assess the value of the cavity-to-myocardium count ratio (C/M
