Handbook of Nuclear Cardiology Cardiac SPECT and Cardiac PET /

Nuclear cardiology procedures have been a mainstay in non-invasive testing for the diagnosis and risk stratification of coronary artery disease for many years.� Although a mature field with a multitude of clinical applications, the advances in agents and imaging procedures have been remarkable and i...
