[Value of nuclear magnetic resonance tomography and first-pass radionuclide ventriculography in cardiomyopathies].

12 patients with cardiomyopathy were examined by MRT and first pass angiocardiography. MRT provides detailed images of cardiac anatomy and abnormalities without using any contrast medium. The first pass method is an excellent complement to MRT. The functional imaging describes regional wall motion of myocardium exactly. Both non-invasive methods are useful for the diagnosis of cardiomyopathy.
