This is the fourth and final article in the nuclear cardiology series. After reading and studying this article, the nuclear medicine technologist will be able to: m compare and contrast radio nuclide firstpass and gated equilibrium ventricular function studies including parameters measured, instrumentation, computer methods, and procedural details, and (2) discuss basic normal and abnormal resu...

breed-wise standard echocardiographic values in dogs have been reported as there is variation in body and chest conformation which limits the application of data of one breed for other breed. labrador retrievers being originated from hunting dogs, might have different echocardiographic values from standard normal range of other dog breeds. so, the present study was aimed to determine the m-mode...

introduction: although left ventricular(lv) function parameters measured by gated myocardial perfusion spect (gspect) have been validated, experimental data have revealed that the calculated the lv function parameters using gspect are affected by patient populations as well as particular acquisition and processing conditions. we tried to determine the normal values of gspect in an iranian popul...

the aim of this study is to evaluate how far lempel-ziv complexity (lzc) of the binary symbolic sequences resulting from static or dynamic transformation (partitioning first-order difference) of the short-term electrocardiogram (ecg) signals (only 2 seconds duration) has the  potential in discriminating normal and ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation (vt/vf) subjects. the statistica...
