Nuclear Cardiology Board Exam:
I am writing this review to help other cardiologists (and also other physicians and technologists) who will be taking nuclear cardiology Board exam: It will also be helpful for people taking other nuclear exams (as the basic parts are the same): I am a interventional cardiologist and i have been in practice for 9 years and I had limited time to study. These are the books that I studied, and my recommendations are below. I hope it helps!

I WISH THERE WAS MORE EXPLANATIONS especially for true and fals questions:
Great book, I like the selection of questions, covers a lot of material in a very compact book. The main deficit I think is in the answers which are very short and not explained especially for true/false questions, it does not tell you why when a statement is false or what is false about it.
Not for students about to take the boards!!:
This book is informative and organized but I dont think it's very useful if you're studying for the boards. The answers are on the same page right next to the questions so it's hard to quiz yourself, most of the questions involve PET which most board questions aren't, and the boards aren't organized questions.
Lots of info, only slightly disappointed:
This book does have a lot of questions,but I was disappointed to find that there are no math review questions. Although I haven't taken the boards yet, I would definitely study more than just this book. It seems to have a lot more questions on CNS and PET than needed and not a whole lot of review on Thyroids.
