The current and future status of nuclear cardiology: a consensus report.

Cardiac imaging now provides a range of anatomical and functional information with some overlap in the ability of individual techniques to guide diagnosis and management. This report summarizes the conclusions of a panel of cardiac imagers who assembled to discuss the current state of the field. It focuses principally on options for nuclear cardiology, the choice between individual techniques, and areas where further advances would benefit patient management.
