Dr. Oates acknowledges the invaluable help of her staff (notably, Lisa Cunningham, Joyce McCown, Sharon Rayburn, and Jeff Richards) during the preparation of this book. I thank the many nuclear technologists at the University of Kentucky and other academic medical centers with whom I have worked throughout my career, for they are the ones who create the images for us to make critical diagnoses for our patients. This book is a tribute to the patience and support of my husband and children who sustain me. To the Winfreys: Don, Victoria, Olivia, and Cecilia, thank you! Dr. Sorrell recognizes the consistent efforts by the residents and fellows in training to learn the techniques necessary to become competent and then expert in nuclear cardiology. It is these efforts that fuel the energy necessary to spend hours teaching, mentoring, and writing books such as this one. Most importantly, it is our families who support these choices and sacrifice so many evenings and weekends. To Mandy,
