—Fay Ahmad, Echo, June 2010

Well written...The evidence used to support each modality is up to date...the 18 cases covering cardiac radionuclide imaging are particularly good...Overall it is nicely written and provides a sound text for the inexperienced reader looking to expand his/her knowledge.
—James Stirrup, British Journal of Hospital Medicine, July 2010

Concise and easy to read with well referenced chapters, perfect for a radiology / cardiology trainee, or other health care practitioner with interest in this subject. Its strength lies in the fact that it covers all non-invasive cardiovascular imaging modalities with a streamlined approach...Well written and presented...Images are generally of good quality…a well written basic cardiovascular imaging book that is informative in both its text and in the clinical cases illustrated.
