Cardiac multimodality (hybrid) imaging can be obtained from a variety of techniques, such as nuclear medicine with single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET), or radiology with multislice computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR) and echography. They are typically combined in a side-by-side or fusion mode in order to provide functional and morphological data to better characterise coronary artery disease, with more proven efficacy than when used separately. The gained information is then used to guide revascularisation procedures. We present an up-to-date comprehensive overview of multimodality imaging already in clinical use, as well as a combination of techniques with promising or developing applications.
心脏多模态（混合）成像可通过多种技术获得，如采用单光子发射计算机断层扫描（SPECT）和正电子发射断层扫描（PET）的核医学技术，或采用多层计算机断层扫描（CT）、磁共振（MR）和超声检查的放射学技术。它们通常以并排或融合模式相结合，以便提供功能和形态学数据，从而更好地对冠状动脉疾病进行特征描述，其疗效比单独使用时更有说服力。然后，所获得的信息被用于指导血运重建手术。我们对已在临床应用的多模态成像以及具有前景或正在发展的应用技术组合进行了最新的全面概述。
