Abstract

In this review, we summarize key articles that have been published in the Journal of Nuclear Cardiology in 2018 pertaining to nuclear cardiology with advanced multi-modality and hybrid imaging including positron emission tomography, cardiac-computed tomography, and magnetic resonance. In an upcoming review, we will summarize key articles that relate to the progress made in the field of single-photon emission computed tomography. We hope that these sister reviews will be useful to the reader to navigate the literature in our field.
