Applications of exercise radionuclide ventriculography in the clinical management of patients with coronary artery disease.

abstract：:Lung cancer screening computed tomographies (CTs) differ from traditional chest CT scans in that they are performed at very low radiation doses, which allow the detection of small nodules but which have a much higher noise content than would be acceptable in a diagnostic chest CT. The technical parameters require a gr...
