This book comes as a result of the tremendous worldwide clinical growth in Cardiovascular PET Imaging. Cardiac PET has revolutionized myocardial perfusion imaging, as well as the detection of myocardial viability, sarcoidosis, and device/lead infection. In addition, new tracers and instrumentation that will be entering the cardiac PET arena will drive new indications and patient management pathways as well as new camera systems that will continue to improve image quality. This book represents a comprehensive compilation of all aspects related to contemporary cardiovascular PET Imaging. Our intent is to present current knowledge and practical aspects of clinical cardiovascular PET, rather than taking a comprehensive textbook approach.
