Target Audience
This activity is intended for cardiologists, nuclear cardiologists and nuclear medicine physicians practicing in the field of nuclear cardiology. Nuclear cardiology technologists may also find the activity beneficial.
Learning Objectives

After participating in this Cardiac PET Intensive Workshop, learners should be able to:

  • Describe the fundamental concepts of PET imaging
  • Explain appropriate PET imaging processing protocols and identify current PET tracers, image processing protocols, tracer quality
  • Detail important quality measures for PET instrumentation
  • Describe the stepwise approach to image interpretation and appropriate identification of image artifacts
  • Explain how to acquire myocardial blood flow data and quality control associated with it
  • Detail the principles and approach to metabolic imaging
  • Interpret myocardial perfusion studies with and without myocardial blood flow information
  • Detect and trouble shoot myocardial PET perfusion imaging artifacts
  • Integrate myocardial blood flow and calcium scoring into myocardial perfusion imaging PET reports
  • Identify incidental findings on cardiac PET studies
  • Interpret myocardial metabolic imaging studies
  • List practical considerations for setting up a PET lab
  • Explain the latest information on cardiac PET reimbursement
Overall Goal

The goals of the Cardiac PET Intensive Virtual Workshop are to increase learners’ knowledge and competence about all aspects of cardiac PET perfusion and metabolic imaging and provide the necessary information to help establish and run a PET laboratory. This Workshop will provide a unique opportunity for an in-depth, intensive case-based initiative where participants, grouped by level of experience, learn the fundamentals and practical challenges associated with cardiac PET imaging and real-world approaches to issues they may encounter.
