Abstract

The ability of tracer techniques to assess non-invasively the various cardiac functional parameters has led to their widespread use in many patients with non-coronary heart diseases. Many applications rely on techniques to assess circulatory flow patterns and cardiac pump function, and benefit from the quantitation and reproducibility characteristics of the tracer procedures.
