Greatest opportunities for growth in nuclear cardiology

Nuclear cardiology in Iran in 2002 [Persian]

Aim: Few nuclear cardiology surveys were published in the literature, mostly from developed countries. The aim of this study is to perform a nuclear cardiology survey in Iran. This may lead to better decision making and programming. Methods and Materials: A questionnaire was sent by mail or e-mail to all nuclear medicine centers in Iran asking for details of nuclear cardiology practice in...

Nuclear cardiology in China: 2017

This paper provides the current state of nuclear cardiology in China and contrasts it with the state of nuclear cardiology in the United States (US). The West China Hospital and New York-Presbyterian Hospital (NYPH) were used as representative hospitals to contrast nuclear cardiology in China and the US, respectively. In 2015, there were 101 medical cyclotrons, 774 SPECT or SPECT/CT, 240 PET/CT...

Recent Advances in Nuclear Cardiology

Nuclear cardiology uses radioisotopes to study various aspects of cardiac pathophysiology. Using the techniques of SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) and PET (Positron Emission Tomography) one can study myocardial function, perfusion, metabolism, receptors, infarction, atherosclerosis, apoptosis and success of gene therapy. Gated Blood Pool (GBP / MUGA) studies provide an accura...

A Systematic Review Opportunities and Challenges of Tele-cardiology in Health Care Systems

Aim: Telecardiology provides a useful diagnostic tool for accurate and rapid diagnosis of patients with cardiac disorders to specialist and general practitioners. In this study, a systematic review was conducted to identify effective components and approaches in Telecardiology, such as the opportunities and challenges of applying this system in different domains. Information sources or data: T...
