Abstract

In the past few years there have been a number of procedural and technical advances in the field of Nuclear Cardiology which have helped modernize the field. Competing diagnostic modalities, concerns over medical radiation exposure, and rising health care expenditure have all played a role in fostering these new innovations. This article attempts to concisely review easily implemented improvements in stress protocols, upgrades in imaging hardware and software, and suggestions for the rational utilization of available resources which if implemented, can greatly improve nuclear cardiology practice.
