JNC: Cardiac positron emission tomography and other modalities for coronary artery disease assessment: A snapshot from the medicare data
Course Overview

This Journal CME activity will discuss Cardiac positron emission tomography and other modalities for coronary artery disease assessment: A snapshot from the medicare data. 

Target Audience
This activity is targeted at imaging professionals and is intended to provide the latest information on clinical practice and cutting-edge scientific advances in nuclear cardiology and cardiac imaging.
Learner Objectives

After reading and reflecting upon this article in the Journal Nuclear Cardiology, the learner should be able to:

  1. Identify the differences in utilization patterns between PET and other CAD assessment modalities such as SPECT, CCTA, stress echocardiography, and stress MRI in Medicare populations.
  2. Describe the use and clinical benefits of myocardial blood flow (MBF) quantification and PET/CT, and how these can improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes.
  3. Recognize barriers to the broader adoption of cardiac PET and strategies to address these limitations in clinical practice.
  4. Evaluate data trends in cardiac PET, SPECT, and other modalities from 2018 to 2022 to understand temporal shifts in imaging modalities used to assess CAD.
Overall Goal
The purpose of this CME activity in the Journal of Nuclear Cardiology is to increase the learners’ competence in the application of nuclear cardiology strategies in clinical practice.
