Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

The third edition of Nuclear Cardiac Imaging is intended to be the definitive reference textbook in the field. The chapter authors, handpicked by the editors, are all leading authorities in their respective topics. Their contributions provide a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art in their subject areas. Great emphasis is given to myocardial perfusion imaging, but other procedures, such as radionuclide angiography, metabolic and receptor imaging, and positron emission tomography are also covered in depth. The book also includes details of non-nuclear alternatives to nuclear cardiac techniques, and how they compare. Also discussed are the cost-effectiveness of nuclear cardiac imaging, special considerations when applying nuclear cardiac imaging to women, and imaging in emergency medicine, as well as interpreting and reporting nuclear studies, certification in nuclear cardiology and laboratory accreditation. This book will appeal to nuclear cardiologists, imaging specialists, cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, vascular surgeons and other radiologists and nuclear medicine specialists. The extensive use of tables and figures will also enable the text to be used as a teaching resource.
