Cardiac SPECT and Cardiac PET
Nuclear cardiology is a mature and widely used diagnostic imaging methodology. Since the first seminal publications 35 years ago, tens of thousands of scientifi carticles on radionuclide cardiac imaging have been published describing clinical results in a wide variety of clinical scenarios and patient populations. The published literature may seem overwhelming to those who are new to the fi eld. It may be difficult to see the forest for the trees. Where to start, what to read, and what is essential for becoming a profi cient nuclear cardiologist? The authors of this book have created a concise Handbook of Nuclear Cardiology and done a remarkable job in sifting through the literature using their considerable combined experience and retaining what they deemed really essential and important in daily clinical practice.
