Synopsis

This extensively revised edition of this important textbook provides a practical approach to the use of nuclear cardiology for the general cardiologist. It is an adjunct to the existing literature in nuclear cardiology, providing a simple case-based approach to understanding the methodology, application and value of the modality. This pocket-sized compendium is primarily designed for a clinical cardiology audience. Nuclear cardiology has been a mainstay in noninvasive testing for the diagnosis and risk stratification of coronary artery disease for many years. Although a mature field with a multitude of clinical applications, the advances in the technology and imaging procedures have been remarkable and important to document.

Handbook of Nuclear Cardiology: Cardiac SPECT and Cardiac PET reviews the important indications for choosing nuclear cardiology procedures and provides a description of the procedures themselves, including both SPECT and PET imaging protocols, as well as supplying readers with key references. It emphasizes how noninvasive testing results can be used clinically and emphasizes the appropriateness of such techniques. This concise handbook will be highly useful for trainees, practicing physicians, nurses and technologists who seek a brief, up-to-date overview of nuclear cardiology.
