This extensively revised edition of this important textbook provides a practical approach to the use of nuclear cardiology for the general cardiologist. It is an adjunct to the existing literature in nuclear cardiology, providing a simple case-based approach to understanding the methodology, application and outcomes of the modality, and representing a pocket-sized compendium designed for a clinical cardiology audience. Nuclear cardiology procedures have been a mainstay in noninvasive 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 the technology and imaging procedures have been remarkable and important to document.

Handbook of Nuclear Cardiology: Cardiac SPECT and Cardiac PET reviews the important indications for choosing nuclear cardiology procedures and provides a description of the procedures themselves, including both SPECT and PET imaging protocols, as well as supplying readers with a the key readings resources. It emphasizes how noninvasive testing results can be used clinically and the appropriateness of such techniques using a concise and logical structure, vital for trainees, practicing physicians, nurses and technologists looking for a brief, up-to-date overview and reference volume for nuclear cardiology. It therefore represents an essential reference for a large number of cardiologists internationally looking for information in the field.
