Explanation

"Gated spect" refers to a type of medical imaging test that doctors use to examine the heart. It involves taking a series of pictures of the heart at different stages of the heartbeat. This allows doctors to see how well the heart is pumping blood and to identify any abnormalities in its structure or function. It's called "gated" because the imaging is synchronized with the patient's heartbeat, like a gate that opens and closes.
