AB The  changing  needs  of  cardiologists  and  patients  have  led  to  an  unprecedented  evolution  in  nuclear  cardiology  instrumentation.  Modern  instrumentation  has  a  wide  range  of  collimation,  attenuation  correction  (AC)  options,  and  many  of  the  newest  systems  no  longer  relying  on  the  Anger  gamma  camera  design.  Solid-state  detector  technologies  and  new  aperture  designs  are  commercially  available  and  in  widespread  use.  Hybrid  SPECT  and  PET  systems  now  have  transmission  imaging  options  for  AC  using  x-ray  CT,  radionuclide,  or  novel  fluorescence  x-ray  sources.
