About this book

This small handbook provides a "just the facts" approach to the use of nuclear cardiology for the general cardiology population. It is an adjunct to the existing literature in providing a simple case-based approach to the methodology, application and results of the use of nuclear cardiology. It is a fast-access, pocket-sized compendium of information, heavily biased toward a clinical cardiology population. As such it will be a low-priced, colorful and appealing reference resource that will be popular to a large number of cardiologists internationally. As greater numbers of countries invest in the new techniques, the hunger for information will increase vastly.

Reviews

From the reviews:

“This is a concise handbook designed for quick acquisition of the fundamentals of numerous practical issues in nuclear imaging. … This book is suitable for technicians, students, advanced practice clinicians, physicians in training, and clinicians who interpret, perform, or wish to gain knowledge about cardiac SPECT/cardiac PET. … Its succinct nature and its focus on clinical practicality results in a handbook that is appropriate for novices interested in cardiac SPECT and cardiac PET imaging.” (Sudarone Thihalolipavan, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2013)
