Abstract
Radionuclide angiography techniques have been used for the noninvasive evaluation of ventricular performance since the late seventies. These techniques require peripheral intravenous injection of radioactive tracers remaining within the intravascular space during the period of study, a scintillation camera or probe, and a computer for data processing.
