Recent advances in nuclear cardiology. 2. Dynamic myocardial scintigraphy.
Nuclear cardiology, a developing subspeciality of cardiology and nuclear medicine, has experienced rapid growth during the past five years. Important advances in "hot-spot" and "cold-spot" myocardial scintigraphy for measurement of myocardial perfusion and detection of myocardial infarction are discussed in part 1 of this article, beginning on page 55. Part 2 concludes the discussion with an update on dynamic myocardial imaging.
