Hi Rinaina,
I talked to my oncologist about his today and here's her answer:
the MUGA is not subject to human interpretation as the ECHO is and so it is more reliable. A cardiologist interprets the ECHO and each cardiologist may interpret it differently, whereas the MUGA is a machinated process measuring the muscle that is the problematic reason for the test in the first place. She said there are ways to make the ECHO work, but that the best test in her opinion is the MUGA.
I am scheduled for my third MUGA on the 29th so I was interested to know and I am so glad you brought it up so I could ask about it.
Best to You,
Donna
