Reviews

This book represents a qualified, extensive and updated book on the role of molecular imaging of the autonomic innervations of the heart, which can generate the interest of all the nuclear physicians, residents, cardiologists, neurologists, and basic scientists, and of all others who want to be introduced to a very intriguing new field of clinical applications, in which other knowledge and methodological improvements are needed to support a wider diffusion in clinical practice. (Valentina Piscopo and Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, March, 2016)
