I started out with Echo's which my onc felt were reliable, with the understanding that if there was ever a question about a result we'd get confirmation with a MUGA. However, when I started the UW Vaccine Trial one of the requirements was a MUGA, which showed the same "score" as my Echo's. Since then I've had another MUGA for followup. I would prefer to go back to Echo's for the same reason stated by the others, no radiation!
BTW, the Echo looks at the physical structure of the heart and valves, and the MUGA tracks the blood flow through the body.
