Abstract

Due to the complex geometry of the right ventricle, contrast angiography is not ideally suited for determining its volumes and for carrying out volume-based analyses. Nuclear cardiological techniques, being free from this limitation, have played an important role in understanding the right ventricular performance in various disease conditions. This technique is currently in clinical use and can be applied for assessing the role of right ventricular function in various cardiopulmonary diseases.
