Up-to-the-minute information on the use of radionuclides for imaging diagnosis of the heart is readily available in this new second edition. The editors, a radiologist and a cardiologist, have invited a group of international contributors to submit chapters describing current practice in nuclear cardiology and pointing the way to future directions. This second edition is totally revised, expanded, and updated, continuing to offer a problem-oriented rather than purely technique-oriented approach. The volume is broken down into these sections: Radiopharmaceuticals/Tracer Kinetics; Instrumentation; Ventricular Function; Perfusion; Acute Ischemic Syndrome; Viability and Metabolic Imaging; New Approaches; the Role of Nuclear Cardiology in a Changing Health Care System. Practitioners in nuclear medicine, radiology, and cardiology will be grateful to find the kind of extensive, practical information they need published in one convenient reference.
