A member asked:
Which is more accurate for cardiac ef...transthoracic echocardiogram, cardiac mri, or cardiac pet scan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prefer echocardiogra: That is a tough one to answer but the echocardiogram can give a very good result and easy to obtain and less expensive than the others. Cardiac mri is not routinely used for that neither is PET.
