With a naturally-occurring golden tinge, muga is one of the most sought-after silks in Assam. It is a strong, organic fibre derived from semi-domesticated silkworms endemic to Assam, known as Antheraea assamensis. It is produced in Goalpara, Udalguri, Sualkuchi, Jorhat, Tinsukia, Dibrugarh, and other areas of Assam. Sericulture, as it is called, was a thriving business under the Ahom rulers and their patronage helped this craft become a household necessity.
During a MUGA scan, a specially trained technician places electrodes on your chest and arms, which hook to an electrocardiograph machine that measures your heart rate (ECG). A camera then takes pictures of your heart while you are resting. The camera uses gamma rays to track the tracer that has been injected. The pictures help a First Coast Heart & Vascular Center physician measure the ejection fraction of your left ventricle and look for other abnormalities.
