Join the leaders and innovators shaping the future of nuclear cardiology through groundbreaking science, emerging technologies, expert-led education, and practice-changing clinical insights. ASNC2026 brings together the global cardiovascular imaging community to explore cutting-edge developments in PET and SPECT technologies, next-generation tracers, artificial intelligence integration, and multimodality imaging. The program delivers a comprehensive educational experience spanning amyloidosis and heart failure, infection and inflammation (including sarcoidosis), myocardial ischemia and atherosclerosis, hands-on software workshops, laboratory management, and career advancement, with practical strategies to elevate diagnostic precision and laboratory performance.

Learning Objectives

• Evaluate next-generation PET and SPECT tracers for perfusion, amyloidosis, inflammation, and myocardial fibrosis, and assess their clinical integration.

• Implement artificial intelligence applications into nuclear cardiology workflows to optimize image reconstruction, interpretation accuracy, and laboratory efficiency.

• Apply multimodality imaging protocols for the early diagnosis, risk stratification, and therapeutic monitoring of cardiac amyloidosis and nonischemic cardiomyopathies.

• Differentiate cardiovascular infection from inflammation using advanced FDG-PET protocols and multimodality diagnostic algorithms, with a focus on cardiac sarcoidosis and device infections.

• Integrate coronary plaque characterization, myocardial ischemia evaluation, and quantitative myocardial blood flow (MBF/MBFR) measurements into revascularization decision-making along the cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) continuum.

• Optimize technical imaging quality across SPECT, PET, and CT platforms by adopting standardized acquisition protocols, artifact reduction techniques, and attenuation correction strategies.

• Navigate coding, reimbursement, regulatory compliance, compensation models, and multidisciplinary team-based workflows to maintain a clinically rigorous and financially viable imaging service.

Target Audience

This activity is designed for nuclear cardiologists, general cardiologists, radiologists, nuclear medicine specialists, fellows, residents, nuclear medicine technologists, cardiac sonographers, nurses, practice administrators, and healthcare professionals interested in cardiac imaging.

Best for Nuclear Cardiologists, Cardiologists, Nuclear Medicine Physicians, Diagnostic Radiologists, Heart Failure Specialists, Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiologists, Cardiothoracic Surgeons, Interventional Cardiologists, and Rheumatologists.
