Description
A great deal can be learnt about the state of the heart by using the techniques of nuclear medicine. This colour atlas helps cardiologists and nuclear medicine specialists in the understanding and interpretation of these images. The atlas contains over 250 illustrations of which 200 are in full colour. The authors provide comments on these images, indicating how they should be interpreted. The approach is based on case studies, which makes it of real practical value. The reader should be left with a clear understanding of the imaging methodology, as well as an increased ability to recognize and interpret the images. This book should be of interest to cardiologists, radiologists and nuclear medicine specialists.
