Purpose
To assess the difference when the heart is full and when it has pumped out blood, termed Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction.
- The MUGA scan (Multiple Gated Acquisition Scan) is an extremely useful noninvasive tool for evaluating the function of the heart. The MUGA scan produces a moving image of the beating heart, which allows one to identify any abnormalities with the heart’s pumping mechanism.
NB: Patients Must Bring Old X-Rays and scans for all procedures! |
