This is a self-assessment CME activity in online format consisting of 30 multiple-choice questions. Each question includes an answer rationale and references for further studying. This module will be updated every 3 years. It is designed for practitioners who are performing nuclear imaging studies and want to increase their competence for certification, recertification or general practice improvement.

This activity is designed for nuclear cardiology physicians.

Upon completion of this module, learner will be able to:

• Explain the role of viability assessment in risk stratification and selection of suitable patients for revascularization procedures.
• Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of FDG PET, thallium SPECT and technetium 99m tracer SPECT for viability assessment and apply this knowledge to select appropriate patients.
• Explain the necessary preparation procedures of patients for nuclear viability assessment
• Analyze the relationships between nuclear imaging-based assessments of viability and other modalities such as echocardiography and MRI, elucidating their respective roles in clinical decision-making.

The overall goal of this activity is to provide a comprehensive review of nuclear cardiology imaging procedures and best practices and increase physicians’ competence and performance in their ability to improve cardiovascular disease outcomes.
