• Employ optimal methodology to acquire, process, interpret, and report nuclear cardiology studies
• Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of new protocols and imaging technologies and how to incorporate these into clinical practice
• Review and improve interpretation skills in standard and emerging technologies in nuclear cardiology
• Recognize how to utilize clinical guidelines to enhance performance, document compliance, and improve clinical management
• Analyze and update the basic physiological approach to stress testing and perfusion imaging
• Review the role of radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease
• Evaluate the role of complementary myocardial imaging techniques
