Evaluation, Credit Claim - October 7, 2023
This course is intended for cardiologists, radiologists, nuclear medicine specialists, nuclear technologists, nurses, practice administrators, and other health care professionals with an interest in the field of nuclear cardiology.
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. ASNC2023 is an educational activity designed to help imaging professionals on how to best improve outcomes for their patients with CVD.
