Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Advancements in nuclear cardiac imaging, including tomographic imaging and pharmacologic stress tests, improve the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. Newer agents like technetium-99m-sestamibi and technetium-99m-teboroxime offer simultaneous perfusion and function assessment.
