Radionuclide determination of cardiac chamber flow/volume characteristics.
The flow/volume characteristics of an externally monitored radionuclide dilution curve may contain valuable information about specific cardiac chamber abnormalities. a simplified method of obtaining this flow/volume ratio on a standard scintillation camera is presented. Preliminary clinical application to right-sided cardiac lesions has been undertaken. The implications of flow/volume variation with time are discussed.
