Detection of left atrial myxoma by Fourier phase image.
A case of left atrial myxoma shown on an equilibrium radionuclide ventriculography is presented. A peculiar abnormality of the Fourier phase image appears more reliable than the other findings previously revealed by first-pass or equilibrium studies. The findings were perfectly consistent with the gross anatomy of the tumour.
