متن کاملRecent Trends in Nuclear Cardiology Practice
Over the past three decades, radionuclide myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) has become established as the main functional cardiac imaging technique for ischemic heart disease. It is currently appropriate for all aspects of detecting and managing ischemic heart disease, including diagnosis, risk assessment and stratification, assessment of myocardial viability, and evaluation of left ventr...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Current Status of Nuclear Cardiology
The recent publication by Shaw, et al, (1) regarding the present status and future prospects for myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) fails to explore one of the most important facts essential to understanding this issue and this commentary fails to fully address the fundamental inadequacy of MPI as a first line diagnostic screening tool for CAD. Figure 2 of this article clearly presents the spec...
