Description
The book physicians turn to for clarification on any aspect of nuclear cardiology
Nuclear Cardiology: Practical Applications, Third Edition provides concise, expert guidance on indications for nuclear cardiology procedures, specification of tests, and interpretation of results. Completely updated with the latest techniques and procedures, this well-illustrated guide is essential to clinicians who require a practical understanding of this specialty as well as trainees, including cardiology fellows and radiology residents. Readers will learn when to refer, which test to prescribe, and how to interpret the results. Nuclear Cardiology is a must-have review for anyone seeking certification or recertification in nuclear cardiology.
* NEW SECTION of case-based scenarios with multiple-choice questions
* NEW online video component
* Full-color insert of radiographic images
* Cutting-edge coverage of new and emerging techniques in nuclear medicine
* Emphasis on indications for tests helps readers decide which nuclear test is the best choice for a particular problem
* Review questions at the end of each chapter assure understanding of the material and prepare readers for certification testing
