Which is used for calculation of ejection fraction?

A
MUGA
B
SPECT using thallium 201
C
PET myocardial perfusion imaging
D
Sestamibi scan with pharmacological stress
High-Yield Explanation
Nuclear Imaging of hea: MUGA scan (Multi-gated acquisition scan): Tc 99m labeled RBC is used Evaluate ventricular function / ejection fraction- Cardiac ventriculography (but most accurate investigation for ventricular function is -MRI) Tc99m labeled RBC is very sensitive investigation for detecting minimal lower GIT bleeding (as low as 0.1 ml per minute) PET scanning in hea: - N-13 ammonia PET = very sensitive for myocardial perfusion -18 FDG-PET = Myocardial bility If N-13 ammonia PET (-) & 18 FDG PET (-) - Suggestive of scar tissue If N-13 ammonia PET (-) & 18 FDG PET (+) - Hibernating myocardium Note: C-11 methionine PET is better than 18 FDG PET - for brain tumors
