Multigated blood Pool Scanning
|
The computer breaks the time between R waves on the ECG into fractions of a second, called "gates." Bolod flow is recorded through the gates. The ventricular wall motion and EJ is determined. |

|
Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)
|
Examines cardiac structure and function with an ultrasound transducer behind the heart in the esophagus or stomach. Looks at posterior cardiac structures (left atrium, mitral valve, and aortic arch). |
|
|
Myocardial Nuclear Perfusion Imaging (MNPI)
