Medical - Medical: Cardiology / Nuclear Medicine
Italian term or phrase: indagini primo transito
From a CV of a Nuclear Medicine doctor, specialist-facing document, translated to EN from Italian as per regulatory requirements:

"In collaborazione con il Dott. [xxx] ha realizzato un programma di valutazione quantitativa delle indagini di primo transito cardiaco per sistemi Elscint, programma largamente utilizzato in Italia"

I am not sure what "indagini di primo transito cardiaco" means, specifically "primo transito".
Can anyone help?

first-transit method/investigation


Explanation:
"First-transit and gated blood-pool radionuclide angiocardiography are two fundamentally different methods for scintigraphic examination of the heart. Both are equally accurate methods of measuring left ventricular ejection fraction as shown by comparison with cineangiography "

first sweeps


Explanation:
Sweeps, not of the chimney variety, indubitably incorporates the idea of 'indagini' as surveys, enquiries, investigations and other otiose qualifiers. Now to work out whewre the cardiac fits in...

Example sentence(s):
  • Cardiovascular responses following sweeping in the recumbent and straight standing positions.
  • Views and sweeps of the heart from different angles and positions may be performed freely to conceptually reconstruct a three-dimensional (3D) image.
