title: Review of Cardiovascular Imaging in the Journal of Nuclear Cardiology in 2015-Part 2 of 2: Myocardial perfusion imaging.
abstract: In 2015, the Journal of Nuclear Cardiology (®) published many high-quality articles. In this series, we will summarize key articles that have appeared in the Journal last year to provide for the interested reader a quick review of the advancements that have recently occurred in the field. In the first article of this 2-part series, we concentrated on publications dealing with plaque imaging, cardiac positron emission tomography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance. This review will focus on myocardial perfusion imaging summarizing advances in the field including in diagnosis, prognosis, and appropriate use.
