Differential diagnosis and management of renovascular hypertension through nuclear medicine techniques.

abstract：:In the last few years there has been a remarkable increase in the amount of clinical data in the average hospital chart, and more and more problem-solving algorithms have been developed. We need better "thinking tools" to help us handle the flow of information. The term "clinical decision making" is used to describe a...
