Nuclear Cardiology and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Physiology, Techniques and Applications
Cardiovascular nuclear medicine emerged 15 years ago as a new noninvasive technique for the detection of human cardiac disease. It arised from the fields of nuclear medicine and cardiology and the cooperation of both specialties has been very productive. At present, nuclear cardiology techniques bel...
