Recent 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...

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...

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...

Recent Trends in Archaeological Theory: Some Comments

 This paper selectively reviews some recent themes in archaeological theory:  a philosophical pragmatism, a turn to materiality, and understanding the past in the context of the present.  It concludes with some reflective comments on the author’s Archaeological Theory:  An Introduction, in advance of the third revised edition.
