This document discusses nuclear cardiac imaging and its indications. It provides an overview of the heart's function and various diagnostic modalities for heart disease, including nuclear imaging techniques. Nuclear imaging can be used to detect ischemia/coronary artery disease via stress tests, assess myocardial viability with FDG uptake, and evaluate left ventricular volumes/ejection fraction before and after chemotherapy. The document outlines stress test options, report interpretation, two types of patients (naive and known cardiac), and provides examples of nuclear imaging indications and cases.
