Synopsis

Nuclear cardiology has demonstrated continuous dramatic growth for over 20 years and has become central to the clinical evaluation of patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). Recently, gated SPECT has emerged as the most common approach to myocardial perfusion imaging, and is performed in the majority of nuclear cardiology studies. The use of gated SPECT has resulted in potentially dramatic improvement in the evaluation of CAD, allowing for the routine assessment of both perfusion and function from a single study. This book comprises 12 chapters by leading physicians and scientists in the field, and will be valuable to all students and physicians involved in cardiac imaging.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

" This book is very readable throughout, with an almost conversational tone in some areas. Numerous illustrations are yused to effectively clarify and amplify the text...
"...the value of this book extends well past the topic of its title. ...Clinical Gated Cardiac SPECT would be a valuable addition to the library of all students and practitioners of cardiac perfusion SPECT, both gated and nongated versions."

Texas Heart Institute Journal

"The book is well organized, the writing is clear, and the illustrations are numerous and of good quality.
"This book will be useful for all physicians involved in cardiac imaging, whether they are in radiology, nuclear medicine, or cardiology, and should be mandatory for physicians engaged in gated cardiac SPECT. It is recommended without reservation."

Radiology

"Despite the wide expansion of Gated Cadiac SPECT, a book has been missing which would be devoted to the method, interpretation and possibilities of this examination––this book fills fully this gap. [This] masterpiece of well–known authors from [a] prestigious institute will be very useful not only for physicians in nuclear medicine; also, cardiologists and internal specialists indicating nuclear medicine examinations are offered to acquaint themselves with the latest progress in the field."

Internal Medicine

"...the book is ideal for residents and beginning professionals. For the expert it is also a good choice as it lists all the different protocols...and provides guidelines for interpretation and reporting, supplemented with pitfalls of the study. The book has many flow sheets on the management of patients, with supporting data. It is dedicated to the practical implementation of [quantitative gated SPECT] with heavy emphasis on clinical use. The price is reasonable given the many pictures and color figures. In short, this is a book that should be on the shelf of every clinic where gated cardiac SPECT is performed on a routine basis, and of the physician who wants to start the technique."
