A systematic review for the evidence of recommendations and guidelines in hybrid nuclear cardiovascular imaging

“…A total of 56 guidelines were identified as “original” [ 9 – 11 , 13 , 15 – 19 , 21 – 30 , 32 , 34 – 39 , 41 – 48 , 50 – 53 , 55 , 56 , 59 – 64 , 67 – 70 , 73 , 75 – 77 , 79 , 80 ], 14 as “updates” [ 8 , 14 , 20 , 31 , 33 , 40 , 49 , 57 , 58 , 65 , 66 , 71 , 74 , 78 ], and the remaining four where summaries [ 18 , 54 , 72 ] or reprint [ 12 ]. We included 28 guidelines for PET(/CT-MRI) [ 10 , 14 , 15 , 18 , 22 , 23 , 25 , 26 , 30 – 32 , 34 , 41 , 47 – 49 , 51 , 52 , 55 , 57 , 61 – 63 , 66 , 67 , 69 , 71 , 78 ], 28 guidelines for both PET(/CT) and SP...…”
