Editorial Reviews for Nuclear Cardiology and Correlative Imaging: A Teaching File
|
|
Drs. Vitola and Delbeke assembled a group of standout contributors in order to create a resource that advances the knowledge and skills of experienced nuclear cardiologists and radiologists while also preparing residents for the cutting-edge field of nuclear cardiology. Diagnostic tools, physics and instrumentation, and radiopharmaceuticals and protocols central to the field are examined. The comprehensive text covers key applications of myocardial perfusion imaging, including applications in special populations and in emergency departments. Risk assessment, pitfalls, and artefacts are addressed. Additional chapters detail the value of cardiac MRI, multislice computed tomography, stress echocardiography, and PET and PET/CT to nuclear cardiology. Practical case presentations and a wealth of illustrations reinforce instruction on diagnostic guidelines and methods.

Summary: Great book for studying for the boards
Comment: I got this book to study for the nuclear cardiology boards. As you can read from the other reviews, it presents material in a very natural case-review format that makes it much more fun to read than other texts. Basically, after reading this book, you'll feel much better about interpreting SPECT and PET studies, and about the different protocols, etc. The case presentation is particularly nice in that the board questions are presented somewhat similarly.
For the purpose of the boards you'll need additional study material of course, as this book doesn't touch any of the basic nuclear physics / radiation safety, etc, topics. Chandra's book mentioned in the great review below is very, very good.

Summary: Excellent Book For Nuclear Cardiology Board Exam
Comment: SUMMARY: This is an excellent book! hghly recommended!
a)For fellows, i would recommend a textbook first.
b)But for practicing cardiologist, this is a very clinical oriented book, and it is fun to read!
c)It gives helpful information with clinical cases.
d)Good images, excellent presentation.
e)There is no basic Nuclar medicine 9only clinical cases), so this book is not enough for the board exam, and you will eed other books.
f) i think that this is also an excellent book,for people not taking the board exam. the cases are very clinical oriented, and similar to the cases seen in real life!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
NUCLEAR CARDIOLOGY BOARD EXAM: MY PREPARATION:
(his is not about the book above, please read only if you are planning taking the exam)
I am writing this review to help other cardiologists who will be taking nuclear cardiology Board exam: It will also be helpful for people taking other nuclear exams (as the basic parts are the same):
I am a interventional cardiologist and i have been in practice for 9 years and I had limited time to study. These are the books that I studied, and my recommendations are below. I hope it helps!
--------------------------------------------------------------
QUESTION BOOKS:(All 3 recommended for quick review)
1) Nuclear Medicine Board Review: Questions and Answers for Self-Assessment:
a)Good book for quick review for exam purposes (General nuclear medicine review- helpful for all fields of nuclearmedicine, not specifically cardiology).
b)Quick questions and answers on same page.
c)For cardiology, Basis of Nuclear medicine( chapters 1-3). and cardiac (Chapter 5) and PET (chapter 12)sections were helpful
2)Nuclear medicine technology: review Questions for the Board examinations (Ramer,Alavi)
a) Another good book for quick general nuclear medicine review.
b) Questions and answers, no explanations
c) For all nuclear medicine exam takers: sections on redioactivity, radipharmacy, QA, radiation safety, instrumentation, computers, patient care etc chapters very helpful)(i solved chapters 2,3,4,5,8,14,15,16)
d) there is an exam at the end
3) Nuclear medicine Exam Questions: (Andrew Kim)
a) similar to the above 2 books, good for quick review, some explanation of answers, 1/3 helpful for cardiology
------------------------------------------------------------
2) Nuclear medicine basics radiation safety course:
a) went to an 200 hour course in new Orleans, (there are 80 hour courses also and most of them are enough to get board certification in most States. for some States 80 hours may not be enough , so you need to check it)
b)Teachers were R Campeau, Lindsey,Shieau, Conant.
R. Campeau is excellent in clinical review. F.Lindsey is excellent in basics of nuclear medicine. Shieau was excellent in Radiopharmacology.
c)This is a good course, and i would strongly recommend it.
d)But it wook eight 3 day weekends and it may be very difficult to get this arranged if you have a bsy schedule. in that case, 1 week 80 hour courses should be ideal.
------------------------------------------------------------
C)Nuclear medicine Basics:
a) covered in courses well enough.
b)i bought 3 books, but i did not have enough time to read them.
c) the books i bought;
a)Nuclear Medicine basics (Chandra): very good book,key points and Questions at the endof each section are very helpful. I read some of the chapters which i had difficulty understanding. A good read for fellows who have time. Too much time consuming for practicing cardiologist who are too busy Also, a good book for any Nuclear medicine exam, or any one trying to understand the mechanisms.
key poits: (Chapters 1,2,3,4,5,8,15, and Questions: 3,11,12,14 are very good)
b) essential Nuclear medicine Physics (Powsner): his is a good book, Again, i did not have time to read it all. I read only some pages, and chapters epending on what i didin't know. if you don't have time to read the chandra book from cover to cover, I would recommend buying both 2 books, and reading the same topic on 2 books 9selective topics) to understandit better. (read maybe 20-30% of these 2 books.
-----------------------------------------------------------
D) CLINICAL BOOKS:
1) Nuclear cardiology & Correlative Imaging: A teaching file: this is an excellent book for busy clinicians. I read this book from cover to cover, and clinical cases were extremel helpful. i would strongly recommend this book! (470 pages, excellent pictures, very easy reading!)
2) There are excellent clinical textbooks, but they are not easy to read, and very time consuming. i did not have enough time.
3) Chapter on Braunwald is very good for crdiology.
------------------------------------------------------------
E)You need a letter of recommendation from a nuclear certified physician: with exact number of cases you have read. Getting the necessary numbers is not easy and is very time consuming. if you are not in fellowship, it may take 1-2 years!
--------------------------------------------------
G) Board review Courses: (ASNS Nuclear cardiology Board review Course)
a)i did not attend. But, I heard that it is very useful, especially if you can't study enough on your own.
b)But there are review questions at the end of the exam, and i got them from a freid of mine who attended. I solved these questions and some questions were exactly similar. So, i would recommend to olve these questions even if you can not go to the meeting.
H) Other Study material (For cardiologists only)
a)NCKSAP : http://www.asnc.org/section_61.cfm
vey helpful, very strongly recommended.
b)NSCA Questions: very strongly recommended:
http://www.korlak.com/ncsaweb/help/NCSA_QCReview/help.htm
---------------------------------
F) Exam:
a) is given in Prometric test center.
b) It is all computerized. images are not too bad.
c) Time is more than enough.
d) Around 170-180 questions. (less than 35 mistakes was passing (I made 17 mistakes, so it was not so difficult)
------------------------------------------------------
Good luck! i hope this helps!

Summary: A clinical approach to the topic
Comment: When reading text books on the topic of nuclear cardiology you note that they all presents the same information more or less. It feels at some point that alot of the topics presented are repetition and boring.This book presents the same material, but in a clinical more interesting, easy to read format.
This is a book that I was able to read with interest and enthusiasm from cover to cover.
One of the drawbacks of case study books is that they usually present a couple of rare fundemental cases and the rest are all garden variety cases. This book is more of a textbook written in a case review style which is very appealing to physicians. I have also to admit that I was impressed with the fact that the authors were able to present some cutting edge and futuristic technology in a case review fashion..something I never encountered before.
If you are setting for the nuclear cardiology boards, this is not a replacement to the traditional textbooks, but very helpful in anchoring concepts and a very good worthwhile review.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: mediocre
Comment: Mediocre in every way - content, organization, and currency. Henkin's two-volume Nuclear Medicine superbly covers this material and much more (albeit at a higher price). Need a less expensive book that covers only Nuc Cardio? Try Iskandrian.
