The opening manuscript on the expected series of American Society of Nuclear Cardiology Imaging Indications. For the cardiovascular surgeon, Tables 2 and 7 offer an update on the use of positron -emission tomography in the decision making for suspected infected assist devices. The expansion in indication of VAD therapy guarantees that the series will be widely read and cited. Table 3 is also useful in understanding the uptake of the radioactive indicators in diagnosing infection of devices and grafts.
