SEMINARS IN NUCLEAR CARDIOLOGYAbout this resourceThe purpose of this website is to provide Nuclear Medicine students and technologists a free and interactive medium for broadening their understanding of Nuclear Cardiology principles and practices. We explore the history of Nuclear Cardiology; the basics of structure, function, and physiology; cardiovascular disease and its development, consequences; diagnostic and prognostic tools; methods of management and treatment; nuclear imaging techniques; and a tutorial in tomographic nuclear imaging with examples of actual normal and abnormal exams. Nuclear Cardiology Seminars, as a series of Lessons, are divided into chapters, with self-test reviews at the conclusion. Since the medium we are using is interactive, links to websites containing more detailed information may be found throughout the presentation. We encourage the reader to follow these links to obtain multiple points of view, or to connect with information provided by vendors and manufacturers whenever necessary. This project is the culmination of years of compilation. When I was asked to teach didactic Nuclear Cardiology to the students of Rhode Island Hospital's School of Nuclear Medicine, I had two old textbooks and a registry review guide. After completing instruction with seven classes of students, the amount of material had grown to the point where digital media afforded the most sensible method of presentation. I took the initiative to publish the work online at virtually the same time I was relieved of my teaching position. I felt that a void needed filling for technologists and students who needed a refresher course on cardiac imaging principles. This site is in a state of ongoing development. If you have used this website and find it helpful, feel free to share with your colleagues, students and friends. The favor of feedback is requested: please email your comments from my contact form. Please note that this is purely an education-oriented resource, and information from many sources have been combined. I have liberally borrowed artwork for this website from many sources, for which I am truly grateful to the artists and authors from whom they originated.
Many Thanks to the people who contributed to my workI have had the pleasure of working with physicians who expected the best from me, and inspired me to excel. They have high professional standards and are lovely human beings. Thank you for your encouragement and respect for my work throughout the years. Dr. Lynne L. Johnson Dr. Richard B. Noto Dr. James A. Arrighi
