A reference for medical personnel involved with cardiac SPECT, the technique that is currently most commonly employed for nuclear cardiology procedures. The focus is equally on technical and clinical issues. The first section, covering the technical issues, discusses the principles of cardiac SPECT, quality control, quantitative analysis, advanced computer methods, and advances in instrumentation. The second section, the clinical section, covers thallium-201, 9 9 mTc-sestamibi, 9 9 m Tc-teboroxime, new 9 9 m Tc compounds, artifacts, clinical management issues, myocardial infarction imaging, gated blood-pool SPECT, and comparison of SPECT with other modalities. Thoroughly illustrated, much in color. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
