Handbook of Nuclear Cardiology Cardiac SPECT and Cardiac PET

Handbook of Nuclear Cardiology Cardiac SPECT and Cardiac PET / edited by Gary V. Heller, Robert C. Hendel.

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...
