Radionuclide angiography
Radionuclide angiography is a technique used in nuclear cardiology to quantify nuclear cardiac images, including single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET), and equilibrium radionuclide angiography (ERNA). It is commonly used to enhance reproducibility in assessments of left ventricular function and myocardial perfusion.From: Cardiovascular Imaging [2019]

Radionuclide angiography or radionuclide ventriculography is employed in the location of cardiovascular breakdown because it distinguishes the capacity of the right and left ventricles of the heart. Radioisotope renography is employed to assess the capacity of the kidney. Sestamibi parathyroid scintigraphy is employed in the location of parathyroid adenoma, while bone scintigraphy is employed to find irregularities in bone. When radiolabeled antibodies are infused to locate diseased cells, this is referred to as immunoscintigraphy.
The equilibrium radionuclide angiography is a procedure that, due to its high level of precision and reproducibility (technical variability of only 5%), allows the accurate appraisal of the LVEF, as the ideal method for early detection of small reductions in the global systolic function of the left ventricle (Leeson & Sabharwal 2011).
