Overview
ASNC2022 will provide you with top-notch education, opportunities to engage with your colleagues, and create new collaborations. Meet pioneers and leaders in nuclear cardiology and multimodality imaging who can help you navigate the field and where it is headed.
ASNC2022 will be offered in a hybrid format so you can attend in person in Orlando or virtually from your home or office.
Target Audience
This activity is intended for cardiologists, nuclear cardiologists, nuclear medicine physicians, radiologists, and nuclear cardiology and nuclear medicine technologists practicing in the field of nuclear cardiology.
Learner Objectives
At the end of this activity, participants will:
- Demonstrate improved skills in image interpretation and reporting
- Learn how to recognize and minimize technical problems and artifacts that may be associated with cardiac imaging
- Learn the appropriate use of cardiac imaging techniques based on current guidelines
- Evaluate new imaging technologies, software, and stress techniques
- Understand the role of nuclear and cardiac CT imaging in overall patient care
- Learn the importance of balancing radiation exposure with image quality
- Describe future directions in cardiac PET, CT, and SPECT/CT in order to anticipate training and equipment needs
- Understand the clinical implication of CT coronary angiography cases and recognize its value and limitations in clinical cardiology
Overall Goal
This activity will increase learners’ competence in solving technical and clinical issues when treating patients with CVD. Sessions present different approaches to cardiac disease management to how to best improve patient outcomes. These sessions address topics in appropriate use criteria, SPECT best practices, PET best practices, new and emergent cardiac imaging procedures, lab performance and procedures, radiation safety, reporting, and lab performance and the application of appropriate guidelines-based treatments.
Statement of Need
In order to maintain competence and improve performance, imaging professionals must assimilate and integrate knowledge spanning multiple areas, including clinical data, technical aspects of imaging, and appropriate application of imaging (e.g., clinical guidelines and appropriate use criteria). Each of these areas is constantly evolving, particularly as innovative technologies and novel pharmacologic agents are introduced. ASNC2022 is an educational activity designed to help imaging professionals on how to best improve outcomes for their patients with CVD.
Accreditation and Continuing Education Credit
Physicians: The American Society of Nuclear Cardiology is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians. The American Society of Nuclear Cardiology designates this in person learning activity for 61.75* AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ and 61.75* ABIM MOC points and this virtual only learning activity for 55.25* AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ and 55.25* ABIM MOC points. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
Physician Assistants: The American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA) accepts certificates of participation for educational activities certified for AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ from organizations accredited by ACCME.
Nurse Practitioners: The American Academy of Nurse Practitioners Certification Board (AANPCP) recognizes attendance at CE offerings which provide AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ for the purpose of recertification.
Maintenance of Certification:
Successful completion of this CME activity enables the in person participant to earn up to 61.25* medical knowledge Maintenance of Certification (MOC) points and the hybrid virtual only participant up to 55.25* medical knowledge Maintenance of Certification (MOC) points in the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) MOC program. Participants will earn MOC points equivalent to the amount of CME for this other activity (sessions watched between September 8 and September 26) only. It is the CME activity provider’s responsibility to submit participant completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABIM MOC points.
*Credits subject to change.
ASNC has received the highest level of recognition, Accreditation with Commendation, from the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME). Accreditation with Commendation is awarded to CME providers that demonstrate compliance in all aspects of accreditation requirements and for demonstrating exemplary engagement with the environment in support of physician learning and physician quality improvement.
