Read With the Experts: PET MPI Case-Based Series - Spectrum of CAD: Comprehensive Evaluation with Cardiac PET

Read With the Experts: PET MPI Case-Based Series - Spectrum of CAD: Comprehensive Evaluation with Cardiac PET is organized by American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC) and will be held on Oct 22, 2026.

Learning Objectives:
By participating in the Read With the Experts series, attendees will be able to:

• Understand the diagnostic value of myocardial blood flow (MBF) and myocardial flow reserve (MFR).
• Learn how to develop a structured, reproducible approach to reading PET MPI studies.
• Evaluate perfusion, function, CT attenuation correction in an integrated manner.
• Synthesize perfusion, MBF/MFR, ventricular function, and CTAC findings into a unified impression.
• Identify common artifacts and distinguish them from true perfusion abnormalities.
• Interpret stress MBF and MFR in the context of perfusion findings.
• Differentiate epicardial obstructive CAD from microvascular dysfunction (CMD/INOCA).
• Recognize patterns of diffuse atherosclerosis, balanced ischemia, and global flow impairment.
• Guide clinicians through important quality control steps to ensure diagnostic accuracy.
