Radionuclide angiography.

Radionuclide angiography is an established, widely used diagnostic tool. It is safe, easy to perform, and the low patient radiation dose makes frequent follow-up studies feasible. High-quality scintiscans have contributed to the widespread clinical acceptance of the procedure. The areas of application include virtually every organ of the body. In the brain, abnormalities in cerebral perfusion may be detected with this technique. Hepatic and renal tumors can be differentiated from cysts with radionuclide angiography. Its application to cardiology is achieving rapid growth and acceptance in both congenital and acquired heart disease.
