Nuclear cardiac imaging refers to cardiac radiological diagnostic
techniques performed with the aid of radiopharmaceuticals, which
are perfused into the myocardium as markers. These imaging studies
provide a wide range of information about the heart, including the
contractility of the heart, the amount of blood supply to the heart
and whether parts of the heart muscle are alive or dead. This is
essential information for cardiologists, and nuclear imaging has
become an increasingly important part of the cardiologist's
armamentarium. Chapters in Nuclear Cardiac Imaging cover
historical, technical and physiological considerations, diagnosis
and prognosis, conditions other than Coronary Artery Disease (CAD),
advanced cardiac imaging, and challenges and opportunities. New to
the sixth edition are key point summaries at the start of each
chapter, clinical cases with videos, and a question and answer
chapter on practical issues. This volume is ideal for nuclear
cardiologists in training and nuclear clinicians alike who are
searching for quick answers to important clinical and technical
questions.
