Atlas of Nuclear Cardiology: Imaging Companion to Braunwald's Heart Disease

Hardcover - 384 pages Expert Consult: Online and Print Atlas of Nuclear Cardiology provides detailed guidance on how to
and how not to perform imaging studies so you can get the best image quality and avoid artifacts. Ami E. Iskandrian and
the editorial team responsible for Braunwald s Heart Disease bring you the most clinically relevant, case-based,
evidence-based, practical, and contemporary atlas of nuclear cardiology. High-quality, full-color images ensure that
you get the possible results. The included DVD features additional images and videos so that you get even more value
out of this great resource. Access the fully searchable contents online at www.expertconsult.com, along with a moving
image library that demonstrates myocardial perfusion imaging, myocardial tracers, PET, PET-CT, and gated SPECT. Stay
