Abstract:
This updated position paper from the German Society of Nuclear Medicine (DGN) and the German Cardiac Society (DGK) replaces the original statement from 2018. It gives an overview of the fields of application and the current value of nuclear cardiological imaging. The topics covered include chronic coronary syndrome, including viability diagnostics and the special value of positron emission tomography (PET), cardiomyopathies, cardiac sarcoidosis, amyloidosis, infectious endocarditis and inflammation of cardiac implants.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
Positron Emission Tomography
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...
