Access Codes will be provided at each session in the App’s “chat” feature, and you will need to enter this code into the evaluation system.  Each Access Code will be unique to that session. An evaluation must also be completed to claim credit. CE Certificates will include reference numbers, session titles and number of credits.

You can track your access codes on the “Technologist Access Code Sheet”. This form is available to download in the Documents section of the App as well as hard copies are available at the ASNC registration desk.

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.

At the end of this activity, participants will be able to:

• Demonstrate improved skills in image interpretation and reporting
• Recognize and minimize technical problems and artifacts that may be associated with cardiac imaging
• Identify appropriate use of cardiac imaging techniques based on current guidelines
• Evaluate new imaging technologies, software, and stress techniques
• Identify the role of nuclear and cardiac CT imaging in overall patient care
• Describe the importance of balancing radiation exposure with image quality
• Describe future directions in cardiac PET, CT, and SPECT/CT to anticipate training and equipment needs
• Identify the clinical implication of CT coronary angiography cases and recognize its value and limitations in clinical cardiology

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.

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. ASNC2024 is an educational activity designed to help imaging professionals on how to best improve outcomes for their patients with CVD.

Technologists: The American Society of Nuclear Cardiology is a recognized provider of continuing education credit for technologists. ASNC’s Continuing Education Credit is accepted by both NMTCB and ARRT. ASNC2024 has been approved for a maximum of 45.0* ARRT Category A credits for Technologists.

*Credits subject to change.
