36th Annual Recent Advances in Clinical Nuclear Cardiology and Cardiac CT: State of the Art Updates and 101 Evidence-Based Case Reviews

For cardiac imaging and non-imaging cardiovascular professionals, this stimulating and interactive two-and-a-half day course explores advances in nuclear cardiology, cardiac CT and other imaging modalities across the spectrum of patients routinely seen in a typical practice.

Through the review of 101 evidence-based cases, leading cardiac imaging clinicians and scientists will guide attendees in gaining practical experience in case interpretation, reporting and medical decision making. Featuring an engaging “Shoot Out” with the Experts session, as well as a rapid-fire Jeopardy session, this course engages the audience from beginning to end!

Cardiac imaging is at a crossroads. Technological advances and clinical outcomes evidence have evoked a multimodality cardiac imaging approach, with increasing complexity of image acquisition, interpretation and application. Yet, despite this established evidence-based foundation that demonstrates improvements in patient care, cardiac imaging has come under scrutiny due to its escalated use and increased costs. This scrutiny has generated initiatives to reduce unnecessary testing while encouraging the use of appropriateness criteria to guide testing decisions.

As you navigate this complex maze of technological advances, patient and physician needs, appropriate use criteria, and health care reform and the impact on cardiac imaging decisions, the 36th Annual Recent Advances in Clinical Nuclear Cardiology and Cardiac CT is there to assist in guiding you.
