Can a new method using rubidium Rb 84 and coincidence counting effectively measure coronary blood flow without requiring coronary sinus catheterization?
A novel method using rubidium-84 and coincidence counting allows for the clinical measurement of coronary blood flow without the need for coronary sinus catheterization.
