  • gated myocardial PET
  • ungated myocardial SPECT

Question 11

Question
A patient has an enlarged left atrium. When drawing an ROI for calculation of LVEF after radionuclide angiography, the technologist includes some activity from the left atrium. The resulting ejection fraction would:
Answer

Question 16

Question
What is the purpose of Fourier Transformation on MUGA data?
Answer
