Nuclear Cardiology: Practical Applications, Third Edition 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. The book explains when to refer, which test to prescribe, and how to interpret the results.

The Third Edition reflects a substantial revision of the previous editions. These updates include a greatly expanded section on PET imaging, and additional chapters have been added to clarify many of the basic principles of nuclear cardiology, including radiopharmaceuticals, instrumentation, quality imaging, and radiation exposure. Throughout the book emphasis is placed on clinical application of imaging technology, and a separate chapter on the appropriate use of radionuclide images has been added.

The addition of more than 100 Q&A with answers and explanations makes Nuclear Cardiology: Practical Applications, Third Edition invaluable for board review.

If you are in need of an authoritative text written to optimize the clinical practice of nuclear cardiology, your search ends here.
