imbas MUGA
Explanation:

- in my experience, most medical acronyms like MUGA in MUGA Scan does not need to be translated. [MUGA stands for Multi-Gated Acquisition btw].

- technically, the translation would be Imbas Pemerolehan Berbilang Get, but i have never heard/seen it referred to as such.

- this is the same as with MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) never being referred to as Pengimejan Resonan Magnetik or CAT (Computerized Axial Tomograhy) Scan as Imbas Tomografi Paksi Berkomputer or X-ray as Sinar X.
