Summary
Based on a NIH symposium sponsored by the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, this is a guide to the targeted molecular imaging of the cardiovascular system. It covers methods for the analysis and management of cardiovascular pathophysiological processes, probe technologies to analyse cardiovascular receptors, and more
