• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Clinical Nuclear Cardiology is the standard text for clinicians and researchers in nuclear cardiology. New developments in technology, instrumentation and radiopharmaceuticals will be addressed in the third edition of this popular text. New material on molecular imaging will help the reader to access this key area for the development of nuclear cardiology. Special population sections have been added to address the rise in patient management problems. Nuclear Cardiology is a highly visual subject that is best illustrated with four colour images. This edition will be a completely new four colour design, and will be the first in nuclear cardiology.
