Clinical Applications of Myocardial Perfusion Imaging

This multimedia resource covers more than 50 cases, with complete records of diagnostic images and ECG tracings. Emphasis is placed on clinical decision-making and case management. Cases covered include five clinical scenarios: ER; CCU; stress lab assessment for coronary artery disease; stress lab assessment for known coronary artery disease; and predischarge exams. The cases include patient histories, commentary and real-time sequences of critical nuclear cardiac images. Imaging modalities include SPECT, planar, first pass, ECG-gated and ERNA, imaging agents including Thallium-201, TC-99m sestamibi, and dual-isotope SPECT.
