Abstract

The Authors describe a method for isotopic left ventriculography and particularly the elaboration used in order to obtain washout curves expressive of left ventricular function. First pass left ventriculography is an appropriate method. It produces more exact end-diastolic outlines, identifies valvular rings and has a minor background compared to gated ventriculography.
