[Cardiac imaging including nuclear medicine, MRI, and MDCT].
Nuclear cardiology has played a significant role in the diagnosis and risk stratification of patients with coronary artery disease. MRI and multidector-row CT (MDCT) has recently been introduced in the field of clinical cardiology. For the management of patients with suspected coronary artery disease, it is important to understand the advantages and disadvantages of various imaging modalities. This review discusses the current roles and problems of these imaging modalities.
