Editorial Reviews

Review

`... this book is highly recommendable for everybody involved in CPET. It is also a readable source of information not only to nuclear medicine physicists but also to cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, physiologists and clinical physicists and radiopharmacists. This book should gain widespread acceptance... The scientific accuracy is undoubtedly high; the quality of written contributions is perfect, as is the quality of all presented figures; there is also a chapter on color display.' European Journal of Nuclear Medicine, 24:2 (1997)
