Author: Seth T. Dahlberg

Published in: Journal of Nuclear Cardiology | Issue 4/2009

Excerpt

Despite the multiple imaging modalities that are now available for the diagnosis and assessment of coronary artery disease, radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging continues to enjoy widespread use due to its combination of diagnostic accuracy and well-established prognostic utility. …
