Gold-195m has a halflife of 30.5 sec. Its ultrashort halflife and low radiation exposure (240 mrads to the kidney from a 20-mCi injection) make it an ideal agent for sequential first-transit studies of cardiac function. The reproducibility of eject,ion fraction and wall motion determinations were as
