Learner Objectives
The primary objectives of the course are to enable participants to achieve the following:
- Review concepts of nuclear physics as it applies to cardiovascular imaging physics instrumentation.
- Explain single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) image acquisition, processing, and quality control considerations.
- Recognize and identify nuclear imaging associated artifacts and understand their appropriate management.
- Discuss the production and management of radionuclides and radiopharmaceuticals.
- Integrate radiation safety standards into professional nuclear cardiology practice.
- Incorporate patient-centered imaging principles and appropriate use considerations in nuclear cardiology and stress procedure selection.
- Learn basic stress testing (exercise and pharmacologic) protocols along with their absolute and relative contraindications.
- Incorporate risk stratification into selection and application of nuclear cardiology studies.
- Apply nuclear imaging tools in assessment of myocardial viability, cardiac amyloidosis, and ventricular function.
- Understand the basics of PET imaging for myocardial perfusion, myocardial blood flow quantification, and metabolic viability and sarcoidosis assessment.
- Interpret SPECT and PET perfusion and metabolic images and ventricular function imaging.
- Utilize myocardial perfusion imaging in the assessment, diagnosis, and response to therapy in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease and special populations.
- Appropriately identify non-cardiac findings on SPECT and PET-CT cardiovascular imaging studies.
- Integrate nuclear cardiology into the multimodality imaging evaluation of cardiovascular disease.
