Noninvasive Imaging of Cardiac Metabolism Single Photon Scintigraphy, Positron Emission Tomography and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

F.J.Th. WACKERS Metabolic imaging: The future of cardiovascular nuclear imaging? Since cardiovascular nuclear imaging emerged as a new subspecialty in the mid-1970s, the field has gone through an explosive growth. Radionuclide techniques became readily recognized as important new diagnostic aids in...
