Journal of Nuclear Cardiology Aims and scope

Abstract

This mini-review highlights cardiovascular studies that were presented during the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) 2019 annual meeting in Anaheim, California. The aim is to provide the readers insight to noteworthy studies related to the fields of nuclear cardiology presented during the conference. Although cardiovascular applications of positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) are not the primary focus of the SNMMI, several scientific teams working in this field presented their latest findings in Anaheim. While this review is directed to the benefit of those who were not able to attend the annual meeting, we believe that a general overview may also be useful for those who did attend as it is often difficult to get exposure to all the high-quality abstracts presented at this large conference.
