The Cardiac PET Resource Center offers a wide selection of curated resources, encompassing live and OnDemand education as well as monthly PET cases for review and interpretation, all geared toward enhancing your learning and training.
PET Case of the Month
NEW! ASNC’s Cardiac PET Launch Kit is a unique collection of resources that guides cardiology and nuclear medicine practices through all stages of starting a cardiovascular PET program. This Cardiac PET Launch Kit is available free of charge to ASNC members.
OnDemand Education
Cardiac PET: Real-world Applications Webinar SeriesThe series examines how F-18-labeled radiopharmaceuticals are poised to transform the diagnosis and management of three patient populations (women, individuals who are obese, and those with diabetes) for whom imaging with current tracers and methodologies has been challenging. Each 30-minute webinar features experts highlighting opportunities that nuclear cardiologists soon will have to improve patient care by using F-18 tracers. |

Advocacy
- 2023 PET Model Coverage Policy
- This document is to update the previous 2014 model coverage policy for cardiac PET. Cardiovascular PET imaging procedures have evolved and more supportive evidence is available to support its use. The overall goal is to simplify the process for payers to provide coverage for appropriate cardiac PET procedures. The document details various indications under eight different categories, and the medical necessity for each indication is justified by the evidence provided. As with the previous 2014 document, this policy will also function as a resource for American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC) members, the cardiology community, referring physicians and patients in relation to the correct ICD-10 codes for the clinical indication. This PET model coverage policy serves as a scientific and literature-based guide for payers on how the clinical indications and ICD-10 codes interface with the Appropriate Use Criteria.
