Cardiac PET Workshops
Join us for the Cardiac PET Intensive Virtual Workshop, a case-based program uniquely formatted to your knowledge level to enhance interaction and learning. Don't miss this opportunity to access the workshop virtually from the convenience of your home or office at a great price.
The next Cardiac PET Intensive Workshop is anticipated in March 2021. Check back for details.
Here’s what you will get:
- A world-class program led by Marcelo Di Carli, MD, MASNC, of Harvard Medical School,
- Eight pre-recorded lectures (starting Nov. 25) and three days of live case review,
- Small-group discussion and personalized cardiac PET education tailored to your level,
- The latest information on how to perform, interpret and report PET myocardial perfusion and metabolic studies,
- Case studies demonstrating the clinical value of cardiac PET to use with your colleagues and administrators,
- How-to guidance on building a lab and positioning it to thrive, and
- Essential updates on cardiac PET reimbursement, including new codes, billing for absolute quantitation of myocardial blood flow, and guidance on claims for hospitals vs. physician offices.
Program Director
“This workshop was designed specifically
for physicians who are just starting or planning
to start a cardiac PET lab.”

The workshop’s hands-on format requires registration to be limited to the first 75 participants.
PET Workshop Overview
Have you recently implemented or are considering a cardiac PET service line? Then join us for the Cardiac PET Intensive Workshop, a case-based program that provides a practical approach to cardiac PET and focuses on image acquisition, interpretation, and reporting PET myocardial perfusion studies with and without myocardial blood flow.
The workshop also includes a discussion of emerging applications of cardiac PET. The program format will include lectures and small breakout sessions for in-depth learning. Participants will read and review 60 cardiac PET studies with expert faculty in small group sessions to enhance interaction and learning. If you are just starting a PET lab or planning to, this course is for you!
