title: Blood pool scintigraphy.
abstract: Scintigraphic techniques offer a variety of computer aided analytic methods for the assessment of ventricular size and function. They are objective, quantitative, and reproducible, and contribute to the clinical evaluation of all forms of cardiac disease. In some cases complementary to other methods, the scintigraphic assessment of ventricular function is often unique in the valuable clinical data which they supply.
