MUGA SCAN
MUGA scan is a test using a radionuclide tracer ( called a radionuclide) and a special camera to take pictures of your heart as it pumps blood. The test measures how well your health with every heartbeat.
Multiple gated cardiac blood pool imaging (MUGA), is a type of Radionuclide
ventriculography (RVG), used to accurately assess and quantify cardiac function
and volume ejection. It is performed using a radioactive tracer, administered via
an IV catheter, attaching to red blood cell pool and allowance of image capturing
of the blood circulation through the heart.
MUGA scans provide accurate results that are highly reproducible and capable of
detecting subtle changes in cardiac function.
