yes tousled, with the muga they have to take your blood and then mix it with some radioactive material and it has to sit and mix for a bit in the lab and then they re-inject it into you before doing the muga so it is a process and the muga definitely takes longer. supposedly the echo gives more info such as how the blood is flowing.
