title: Radionuclide angiocardiography: use in the detection of myocardial rhabdomyoma.
abstract: A neonate with a large rhabdomyoma of the heart was evaluated with radionuclide angiocardiography. The images revealed a "cold" area on the inferior surface of the heart which displaced the left ventricle. The findings were correlated with radiographic angiocardiography and were verified at surgery and autopsy. The value of this noninvasive technique in the evaluation of a seriously ill neonate is stressed.
