Overview

A thorough, practical review of nuclear cardiology -– covering everything from when to refer and which test to prescribe to interpreting results

Updated with new and emerging techniques

Nuclear Cardiology: Practical Applications provides concise, expert guidance on indications for nuclear cardiology procedures, specification of tests, and interpretation of results. Completely updated with the latest techniques and procedures, this well-illustrated guide is essential to clinicians who require a practical understanding of this specialty as well as trainees, including cardiology fellows and radiology residents. It is also a must-have review for anyone seeking certification or recertification in nuclear cardiology.

Features:
*Coverage of new and emerging techniques in nuclear medicine, such as fatty acid and neurohumoral imaging, the use of hybrid technology, and cardiac positron emission tomograhic (PET) imaging
*Emphasis on indications for tests helps you decide which nuclear test is the best choice for a particular problem
*Valuable perspective of nuclear cardiology’s role in patient management
*Review questions at the end of each chapter assure understanding of the material and prepare you for certification testing
*NEW chapters on quality initiatives in nuclear cardiology and the appropriate use of SPECT and PET procedures
*New: Extensive Q&A
*Full-color insert of radiograph images
