The aim of the 4th edition of the Atlas of Nuclear Cardiology is to
provide physicians and students in cardiology, radiology, and
nuclear medicine who want the latest information in the field of
cardiovascular nuclear medicine up-to-date and comprehensive
information on advances in instrumentation, radiotracers,
protocols, and clinical studies. Unlike other books that are narrow
in their scope of either technology and technique or clinical
studies, the 4th edition of the Atlas will present diagnostic
algorithms and schematic diagrams integrated with nuclear
cardiology procedures generously interspersed with color
illustrations to emphasize key concepts in cardiovascular
physiology, pathology, and metabolism relevant for the clinical
practice of cardiology. The atlas emphasizes today's most current
information, meeting the requirements for those who will be using
the book as a reference source for certifying or re-certifying in
cardiology, nuclear cardiology, nuclear medicine or radiology.
Hybrid PET/CT and SPECT/CT represent new technologies that were
introduced recently in clinical medicine and are evolving rapidly
with several improvements in instrumentation, imaging procedures as
well as in clinical trials that support the expanded role of these
technologies in clinical practice. As such, an updated 4th edition
of the Atlas is critical in order for the clinicians remain current
with the imaging field and maintain their skills. Imaging protocols
with the se technologies have to be updated and/or expanded in
order to acquire high quality images at a reduced radiation burden
to the patient while advancing the application of these techniques
for more advanced disease detection. Accordingly, beyond
significantly updating the chapters from the 3rd edition, 2 new
chapters will be introduced in the 4th edition, which reflects the
expanded clinical applications of the technologies in the past 3
years. The new chapters are as follows: "Hybrid SPECT/CT and PET/CT
Imaging" and a dedicated chapter on "Radiation Safety and Exposure:
Clinical Decision-Making and the Risk-Benefit Ratio". Chapter 7
from the 3rd edition will be deleted. The updated Atlas will serve
as a reference source for all cardiologists, radiologists, and
nuclear medicine physicians interested in the most up-to-date
approaches to noninvasive diagnostic cardiovascular nuclear imaging
techniques for the evaluation of patients with known or suspected
coronary artery disease as well as non-coronary heart disease. It
will also serve as a ready reference textbook for medical students
and residents interested in the practice of cardiovascular
medicine.
The fifth edition of this book presents clinical data, image
acquisition, and interpretation of nuclear cardiology procedures
through high quality illustrative image examples. It includes
up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of advances in
instrumentation, radiotracers, protocols, and clinical studies. New
content includes indications in imaging cardiac sarcoidosis,
amyloidosis, and device infections as well as recent advances in
instrumentation (Hybrid PET/MR). It also provides fresh chapters on
the history of nuclear cardiology imaging, radionuclide handling
techniques and radiation safety, PET-based myocardial perfusion
imaging, and vascular imaging. The entire field is presented in
pictographic form that is visually pleasing and conforming to
current trends of medical education. The fifth edition of the Atlas
of Nuclear Cardiology is an essential reference for cardiologists,
radiologists, and nuclear medicine physicians interested in the
latest approaches to noninvasive diagnostic cardiovascular nuclear
imaging techniques. It also serves as a ready reference textbook
for medical students and residents as well as nuclear physicists,
nuclear medicine technologists, and radiopharmacists.
In Atlas of Nuclear Cardiology, Doctors Dilsizian and Narula have
worked together with over a dozen leading authorities to capture
the most up-to-date and pertinent information in the field of
nuclear cardiology. This atlas is a modern and complete visual
library of up-to-date information on the most current
cardiovascular nuclear procedures in the clinical practice of
cardiology. Together with detailed legends and extensive reference
listings, the over 600 illustrations deliver comprehensive
information. Diagnostic algorithms and schematic diagrams
integrated with nuclear cardiology procedures are generously
interspersed with color images to emphasize key concepts in
cardiovascular physiology and metabolism. This vital reference
provides a detailed and accurate insight into the noninvasive
evaluation and quantification of myocardial perfusion, function,
and metabolism.
