Journal of Nuclear Cardiology Aims and scope

Abstract

Technological advances in processing have allowed nuclear cardiology labs to increase efficiency as well as reduce radiation exposure to both patients and staff. With increased awareness on reduced radiation exposure, efficiency and quality resolution recovery reconstruction is a perfect fit for nuclear cardiology. Having a basic understanding of what is required as well as being aware of the potential pitfalls can provide some clarity on how to incorporate resolution recovery reconstruction into the existing workflow of a nuclear cardiology lab.
