Dynamic Cardiac Imaging Indications for dynamic cardiac imaging Gated equilibrium blood pool - MUGA (ERNA – equilibrium radionuclide angiography) First-pass techniques Acquisition and Processing Handling of arrhythmias Methods for labeling RBCs and factors affecting RBC labeling. Common problems associated with ECG-gating Data analysis and formulas for calculating EF, volumes and other parameters. Reasons for errors in EF measurements Phase analysis Exercise gated study for evaluating exercise-induced LV-dysfunction. Gated blood pool SPECT imaging.
