Abstract

Nuclear cardiology imaging is solidly based on many branches of science and engineering, including nuclear, optical, and mathematical physics; electrical and mechanical engineering; chemistry; and biology. This chapter uses principles from these scientific fields to provide an understanding of both the signals used and the imaging system that captures these signals. These principles have been simplified to fit the scope of this atlas.
