title: Nuclear cardiology: new developments and future directions.
abstract: New developments in the field of nuclear cardiology include attenuation, scatter and depth resolution correction, newly designed gamma cameras, newer tracers, and newer stress agents. These developments, together with many new applications, are likely to continue to place nuclear cardiology in the mainstream of management of cardiac patients.
