Abstract
Radionuclide cardiac angiography has distinct advantages in safety, patient comfort, cost and ease of performance. This method offers diagnostic accuracy equivalent to that of cardiac catheterization. By this method the qualitative and quantitative diagnosis of the cardiac shunts are available. Also for it is repeatable with ease and more physiologic, it has application in following pre- and post-operative shunt patients. We performed the radionuclide cardiac angiographies in 147 cases of heart diseases and 26 cases of normal group. 1. The detection of left-to-right shunt was possible in 22 of 24 patients, and 2 patients were not diagnosed due to small shunt amount. (Qp/Qs<1.3) In 21 patients of right-to-left shunt, all were diagnosed by radionuclide cardiac angiography. 2. With the pulmonary time-activity curve,
