## Significance of bolus time in first-pass radionuclide cardiography Dear Sir, We were extremely interested to read the very important article by Bell and Peters (1991) in which they demonstrated that the radionuclide technique for measuring blood flow from a first-pass study is independent of th

β¦ Synopsis
First-pass radionuclide cardiography and Zierler's area-over-height formula have been applied for determination of stroke volume. The method has three new features: (a) the region of interest comprises the entire cardiopulmonary circulation; (b) a prediction of (normal) blood volume based on deviation from desired weight; and (c) a correction of stroke volume in case of incomplete bolus injection. The method was verified in a pathological situation by an independent geometric method in equilibrium gated radionuclide cardiography. The variation of stroke volume was investigated in a normal group of 61 women, 40-80 years old. The result was in excellent agreement with values for normal variation of stroke volume in the literature.
