Description: Co-authored by a nuclear cardiologist and a cardiologist, this book presents practical, up-to-date information on diagnostic imaging for coronary artery disease, including coronary CT angiography, cardiac SPECT, cardiac PET, and MRI. The authors present the basic concepts and must-know facts of these modalities and offer guidelines for risk stratification of coronary artery disease. Test questions for board review are included. Full-color images of black-and-white print CT, SPECT, and PET materials will be included.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references.
