in Chandler, AZ

Hearts RS offers multigated acquisition scan MUGA Chandler, AZ to assess heart function and evaluate cardiac performance. This non-invasive imaging procedure helps our specialists accurately measure how well your heart pumps blood, supporting better diagnosis and treatment planning for various heart conditions.

Understanding Multigated Acquisition Scan (MUGA)

A multigated acquisition scan MUGA is a specialized nuclear imaging test used to evaluate how well your heart is pumping blood. During the procedure, a small amount of radioactive material is injected to help capture detailed images of your heart’s chambers in motion. This allows physicians to accurately assess your heart’s function, detect abnormalities, and guide the management of various cardiac conditions.

What To Expect During Your Visit

Preparing for Your Scan

Before your multigated acquisition scan MUGA, you may be asked to avoid certain medications and to fast for a few hours. Upon arrival at Hearts RS, our staff will review your medical history and explain the procedure to ensure you feel comfortable and informed. You will then be guided to a preparation area where a small intravenous line is placed for the tracer injection.

Tracer Injection

A small amount of radioactive tracer will be injected into your vein, which helps highlight your heart’s chambers during imaging. This process is quick and generally causes minimal discomfort. The tracer circulates through your body, allowing the camera to capture clear and accurate images of your heart in motion.

Imaging Process

You will lie comfortably on an exam table while a special gamma camera takes images of your heart from different angles. The imaging process typically lasts 30–60 minutes, during which you will need to remain still for accurate results. Our technologist will monitor you throughout to ensure your safety and comfort.

Aftercare and Results

After your scan, you can usually return to normal activities right away, as there is no downtime required. A cardiologist will analyze your images and discuss the results with you at a follow-up appointment. This information helps guide your ongoing heart care and treatment plan.
