Abstract

A brief description is given of imaging techniques to record and analyze the myocardial perfusion scan, study changes in segmental wall motion, measure ejection fraction and ventricular volumes and detect acute myocardial infarction. Attention to the details of collimation, pulse height analyzer settings, intrinsic resolution of the imaging device and quality of the tracers utilized for these studies will permit information of high quality to be obtained from subjects with use of these noninvasive techniques.
