The studies on nuclearcardiology are always performed using the conventional gammacamera with a sodium iodide detector and single-photon emission computedtomography (SPECT). A nuclear cardiogramuses the non-invasive technique to evaluate the pumping action of the heart andalso to know the location and range of the heart attack,and assess the myocardialblood flow. Among the techniques, the myocardial perfusion imagingtechnique is widely used. Nuclearcardiology studies are ceaseless to expand an important role in the newmillennium, in the non-invasive diagnosis of coronary artery disease,the assessment of the pumping function of the heart, and in the prediction ofoutcomes in patients with heartdisease.
