About

To compare the calculated biventricular ejection fraction from cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT) single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with planar equilibrium radionuclide angiography (ERNA), first-pass radionuclide ventriculography (FP-RNV) and echocardiogram.

Full description

To evaluate the feasibility of using CZT SPECT as an "all-in-one" technique to provide information on both left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) derived from a single examination and compare with the values from traditional planar ERNA, FP-RNV and echocardiography.
