Short description:

Nuclear Cardiac Imaging is the definitive resource for nuclear cardiologists and nuclear clinicians on the technical, physiological, diagnostic, and prognostic considerations of cardiac diagnostic techniques performed with the aid of radiopharmaceuticals. New to the sixth edition are additional updated chapters and a Companion Atlas featuring case studies and multiple-choice quizzes that offer readers extra review.

Long description:
Nuclear cardiac imaging refers to cardiac radiological diagnostic techniques performed with the aid of radiopharmaceuticals, which are perfused into the myocardium as markers. These imaging studies provide a wide range of information about the heart, including the contractility of the heart, the amount of blood supply to the heart and whether parts of the heart muscle are alive or dead. This is essential information for cardiologists, and nuclear imaging has become an increasingly important part of the cardiologist's armamentarium. Chapters in Nuclear Cardiac Imaging cover historical, technical and physiological considerations, diagnosis and prognosis, conditions other than Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), advanced cardiac imaging, and challenges and opportunities. New to the sixth edition are key point summaries at the start of each chapter, clinical cases with videos, and a question and answer chapter on practical issues. This volume is ideal for nuclear cardiologists in training and nuclear clinicians alike who are searching for quick answers to important clinical and technical questions.

The book edition looks great, and it reflects a unique educational, clinical, and research asset!
