520			_aCardiac imaging refers to non-invasive imaging of the heart using echocardiography, cardiac MRI, cardiac CT, cardiac PET, and cardiac SPECT. Echocardiography is a type of medical imaging of the heart using standard ultrasound or Doppler ultrasound. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is a medical imaging technology for non-invasive assessment of the functions and structure of the cardiovascular system. A CT scan of the heart is used to gain knowledge about cardiac or coronary anatomy. Cardiac positron emission tomography is a form of diagnostic imaging wherein the presence of heart disease is evaluated using a PET scanner. Single-photon emission computed tomography or SPECT is a nuclear medicine tomographic imaging technique using gamma rays. Myocardial perfusion imaging is a nuclear medicine procedure that describes the functions of the heart muscle. This book elucidates new techniques and their applications in a multidisciplinary manner. The ever growing need of advanced technology is the reason that has fueled the research in the field of cardiac imaging in recent times. This book will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
