Muga

Muga or MUGA may refer to:

Muga (river)

The Muga is a river in Catalonia, Spain, that rises in the Alberes mountains of the eastern Pyrenees and enters the Mediterranean Sea at the Gulf of Roses.

The river is 58 kilometres (36 mi) long. Its source is below the summit of Montnegre, elevation 1,186 metres (3,891 ft). The river passes through the village of Pont de Molins and passes through the Boadella Reservoir, where the river is dammed.

The Muga Valley was entrusted to the County of Empúries by Ramon Berenguer III after being in the County of Besalú. The local population suffered in both the Peninsular War and Spanish Civil War.

Radionuclide angiography

A MUGA scan (Multi Gated Acquisition Scan) is a time-proven nuclear medicine test designed to evaluate the function of the right and left ventricles of the heart, thus allowing informed diagnostic intervention in heart failure. It is also called radionuclide angiography, radionuclide ventriculography, or gated blood pool imaging, as well as SYMA (SYnchronized Multigated Acquisition) scan. This modality uniquely provides a cine image of the beating heart, and allows the interpreter to determine the efficiency of the individual heart valves and chambers. MUGA/Cine scanning represents a robust adjunct to the now more common echocardiogram. Mathematics regarding acquisition of Q is well served by both of these methods as well as other inexpensive models supporting ejection fraction as a product of the heart/myocardium in systole. The advantage of a MUGA scan over an echocardiogram or an angiogram is due to its accuracy. An echocardiogram measures the shortening fraction of the ventricle and is limited by the user's ability. Furthermore, an angiogram is invasive and, often, more expensive. A MUGA scan provides a more accurate representation of cardiac ejection fraction.
