In general, nuclear cardiology techniques are considered robust and
accurate for clinical imaging of heart disease. Thus, they will likely
continue to play a key role in the assessment of myocardial perfusion,
function, viability, and neural function. The technology is rapidly
developing toward smaller and faster devices with improved sensitivity
and resolution dedicated to cardiac applications. The development of
novel tracers will further expand the clinical applications. Especially
the new molecular imaging techniques can enable more personalized
decision making. This chapter reviews the basic aspects of nuclear
imaging techniques and imaging protocols.
