[Assessment of left ventricular regional function by means of radioactive isotopes (author's transl)]. 1981

Extensive analysis of heart function by scintigraphy yields global parameters of ventricular volumes and their changes during the heart cycle (ejection fraction, enddiastolic and endsystolic volumes, velocity of contraction and relaxation). Additionally, information regarding localized disorders of wall motion may be obtained in a qualitative and quantitative manner by the parameters "phase" and "amplitude". These parameters can be computed from regional time-activity curves by Fourier analysis. The radionuclide ventriculogram at rest is suitable for the detection and follow-up of asynergies caused by acute and chronic infarction. In can also be used as a method of distinguishing between reversible and irreversible asynergy by therapeutical intervention (intervention ventriculography). Abnormalities of regional wall motion which develop during exercise may indicate hemodynamically relevant coronary artery stenoses.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
