Opis: Nuclear Cardiology - Barry L. Zaret, George A. Beller, B Zaret

Up-to-the-minute information on the use of radionuclides for imaging diagnosis of the heart is readily available in this new second edition. The editors, a radiologist and a cardiologist, have invited a group of international contributors to submit chapters describing current practice in nuclear cardiology and pointing the way to future directions. This second edition is totally revised, expanded, and updated, continuing to offer a problem-oriented rather than purely technique-oriented approach. The volume is broken down into these sections: Radiopharmaceuticals/Tracer Kinetics; Instrumentation; Ventricular Function; Perfusion; Acute Ischemic Syndrome; Viability and Metabolic Imaging; New Approaches; the Role of Nuclear Cardiology in a Changing Health Care System. Practitioners in nuclear medicine, radiology, and cardiology will be grateful to find the kind of extensive, practical information they need published in one convenient reference.Radiopharmaceuticals/Tracer Kinetics Overview of Kinetics and Modeling Kinetics on a Cellular Level Tracer Kinetics in the Isolated Heart Preparation Role of Intact Biological Models for Evaluation of Radiotracers Animal Models for the Study of PET Tracers Fatty Acid Analogs Nitroimidazoles for Imaging Hypoxic Myocardium Instrumentation Future Developments in SPECT Quantification and Display Recent Advances in Cardiac PET Imaging Attenuation/Scatter Correction for SPECT Dynamic Cardiac SPECT Ventricular Function Monitoring of Left Ventricular Function with Miniaturized Non-Imaging Detectors Measurement of Ventricular Function and Volume Regional and Global Ventricular Function Analysis with SPECT Perfusion Imaging Perfusion State of the Art for Coronary Artery Disease Detection: Thallium-201 State of the Art for Coronary Artery Disease Detection: Technetium-99m Labeled Myocardial Perfusion Imaging Agents Dual-Isotope Myocardial Perfusion SPECT with Rest Thallium-201 and Stress Technetium-99m-Sestamibi Detection of Coronary Artery Disease in Women State of the Art for Pharmacological Stress Imaging Prognosis in Stable Coronary Artery Disease Preoperative Risk Stratification: An Overview Stress Echocardiography Versus Nuclear Imaging Myocardial Perfusion Imaging Using Tracers Other Than Radioisotopes and Detectors Other than Gamma Cameras Assessment of Revascularization Acute Ischemic Syndrome Myocardium at Risk and the Effect of Reperfusion Therapy in Acute Myocardial Infarction --- New Insights from Technetium-99m-Sestamibi Risk Stratification After Acute Myocardial Infarction Employing Noninvasive Radionuclide Imaging Emergency Department Triage and Imaging of Patients with Acute Chest Pain Risk Stratification in Unstable Angina Pectoris Viability/Metabolic Imaging Assessment of Myocardial Viability with Thallium-201 Assessment of Myocardial Viability Using Technetium-99m Labeled Agents Metabolic Assessment of Myocardial Viability: A Physiologic Perspective PET Assessment of Viability with FDG Detection of Viable Myocardium by PET and C-11-Acetate Fatty Acid Imaging New Approaches Neurotransmitter Imaging Receptor Imaging Imaging in Ischaemic Cardiomyopathy: Therapeutic Considerations
