AB The first-pass radionuclide angiogram has been shown to be an effective method for evaluation of left ventricular function. When the first-pass technique is used, however, delivery of a compact radionuclide bolus is imperative. The external jugular vein is a safe, effective route of delivery for the bolus; it provides for a high quality, technically accurate test without deleterious effects to the patient.
