The clinical use of nuclear cardiology for the assessment of
myocardial ischemia continues to grow at an unprecedented rate.
Part of the reason for this growth is the technical advances in
single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT). SPECT has
been shown to provide high contrast images superior to planar
imaging techniques. An important and recent technical advancement
in SPECT has been ECG-gated myocardial perfusion SPECT to generate
simultaneous myocardial perfusion and function information from a
single study. Automated, quantitative techniques have facilitated
the widespread application of this breakthrough. Another recent
advancement has been the use of attenuation correction techniques
to help remove the effects of the physical phenomena that degrades
the visual and quantitative accuracy of SPECT images. Another
reason for the growth of the clinical use of nuclear cardiology is
the large body of published evidence documenting the effectiveness
of SPECT techniques for assessing myocardial ischemia, myocardium
at risk, viable myocardium and stunned or hibernating myocardium.
These assessments have been shown to be important not only in
diagnosis but also in prognosis. This book is divided into three
major sections, each addressing the important topics of nuclear
cardiology. The first section is a that have led to the clinical
success description of the technical aspects of state-of-the-art
myocardial perfusion SPECT imaging. This section deals with the
radionuclides, instrumentation, image acquisition and analysis,
interpretation and quantification techniques used in the most
progressive nuclear cardiology clinics.
