[Nuclear cardiology: technical bases and clinical applications]
Abstract
Although the role of nuclear cardiology is currently well consolidated, the addition of new radiotracers and modern techniques makes it necessary to continuously update the requirements, equipment and clinical applications of these isotopic tests. The characteristics of the radioisotopic drugs and examinations presently used are explained in the first part of this text. In the second, the indications of them in diagnostic and prognostic evaluation of the different coronary diseases are presented.
