The book covers all the concepts relevant to nuclear cardiology, combining imaging techniques, and clinical data. Interestingly, although the advent of PET techniques, a major role is still occupied by SPECT, also using more performing technologies, allowing very fast procedures, further advantaged by a reliable and reproducible quantitative analysis. Nevertheless, also at the present, radionuclide procedures remain a central component of the diagnostic paraphernalia, mainly useful in ischemic heart diseases, continuing to include a series of cost-effective procedures.
