It is the mark of an instructed mind to rest satisfied with the
degree of precision which the nature of the subject admits, and not
to seek exactness where only an approximation of the truth is
possible. Aristotle With the development of imaging techniques, the
in vivo study of human anatomy and physiology has become possible
with increasing "approximation of the truth. " Advances have been
made not only in data acquisition, but also in processing as well
as visualization of functional and morphological data. Following
the successful application of planar two-dimensional imaging
approaches, more recently three-dimensional data acquisition and
correspond ing tomographic image reconstruction has become
possible. With the rapid growth of computer support, advanced
processing allows for user-friendly interaction with complex data
sets. Classical x-ray imaging techniques have matured to excellent
spatial resolution and contrast, which provide specific delineation
of anatomical changes occurring in cardiovascular disease. In
parallel, the use of tracer principles supported the successful
introduction of nuclear medicine procedures for the functional
characterization of physiology and pathophysiology. The application
of such techniques were initially limited by relatively poor
spatial resolution, but excelled in high sensitivity 30 years,
scintigraphic imaging emerged from and specificity. In the last
rectilinear scanning to planar gamma camera imaging and
single-photon xvi Preface emISSIOn tomography (SPECT). Based on
these advances and the experi mental success of autoradiography,
the potential of scintigraphy as a clinical and research tool has
been well appreciated.
