title: [Evaluation of left atrial function by 99mTc gated blood pool scan].
abstract: 99mTc gated blood pool scans were studied to assess the left atrial function. Relationship between filling time and rapid emptying time was y = 0.695 x + 109 (r = 0.761, p less than 0.05, n = 14) in LAO and LPO projections. On the other hand, relationship between slow filling and rapid emptying time was good closely (y = 0.846 x + 16.9 (p less than 0.01, r = 0.975, n = 8] in standard and retrograde acquisition. To assess the left atrial function by standard acquisition in LAO projection should be available for clinical use.
