The present book offers a bird's eye view of the clinical potential
of nuclear medical techniques (including nuclear and magnetic
resonance) in the practice of cardiology. It is based on 16 review
publications which cover the most important areas in clinical
cardiovascular nuclear medicine. The book has been grossly divided
into three sections: (1) Physiology, (2) Techniques, and (3)
Clinical Applications. The Physiology section deals with the
nuclear medicine background of myocardial perfusion, myocardial
metabolism, and cardiac function (Chapters 1, 2, and 3). The
Techniques sections discusses the planar techniques, in particular
for the perfusion tracer thallium-201, the Single Photon Emission
Computed Tomography (SPECT) technique, and the Positron Emission
Tomography (PET) technique (Chapters 4, 5 and 6). This section also
addresses the physical background of Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI) (Chapter 7). The Clinical Applications section discusses the
value of nuclear cardiology for a variety of cardiac diseases from
detection ofmyocardial infarction to its merits for evaluating
cardiomyopathies (Chapters 8-14). Chapter 10 shortly addresses the
experimental and clinical value of Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
(MRS). Chapter 15 describes the latest developments in nuclear
cardiology with an emphasis on new cardiac imaging agents. Finally,
Chapter 16 presents the currently advocated Guidelines in Nuclear
Cardiology. The book will assist the clinical cardiologist, the
cardiology resident, the nuclear medicine physician, and the
radiologist in understanding the currently used cardiovascular
nuclear medicine techniques. It will broaden knowledge of the
nuclear cardiology techniques and will show the reader how
indispensable these techniques are in clinical cardiology practice.
