This volume on cardiovascular PET describes and discusses in detail the evolution of PET, from an exciting research tool to an accepted clinical modality in the field of cardiovascular diseases. This contribution provides in-depth information about the technical as well as biologic aspects of PET cardiology. The volume combines the discussions of experimental and clinical PET approaches in order to provide guidelines for their best use in a given clinical situation. This text is aimed primarily at physicians in nuclear medicine, cardiology and internal medicine, who want to become familiar with the clinical application of positron emission tomography in cardiovascular disease.

'... this book is highly recommendable for everybody involved in CPET. It is also a readable source of information not only to nuclear medicine physicists but also to cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, physiologists and clinical physicists and radiopharmacists. This book should gain widespread acceptance... The scientific accuracy is undoubtedly high; the quality of written contributions is perfect, as is the quality of all presented figures; there is also a chapter on color display.' European Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 24:2 (1997)
