Share Your Science at ASNC2026
The Call for Abstract & Case Submissions is Now Open
Submission Deadline: Friday, April 10, 2026
All physicians, scientists, and technologists are invited to submit their science for consideration to be presented at ASNC2026.
Scientific Abstracts may be submitted with either clinical or basic research and will be considered for an oral or ePoster presentation. All accepted abstracts will be published in the Journal of Nuclear Cardiology (JNC).
Cases from the Community are original clinical cases that should be interesting, cover day-to-day highly practical dilemmas, and illustrate clinical decision making with teaching points. Case submissions will be considered for oral presentation only in Rapid-Fire sessions and will not be published in the JNC.
New This Year!
Live, Interactive ePoster Presentations in the Expo Hall: Poster presentations have been reimagined as live, audience-facing sessions in the Expo Hall, where presenting authors showcase their work using slides and audio for greater visibility and engagement. Additional ePosters will be available on monitors throughout the Expo Hall for maximum vieiwng.
Advanced Coaching: All accepted authors will be invited to receive feedback on their ePoster presentations. Authors will have the option to submit a brief, 3-minute recorded ePoster presentation prior to ASNC2026 to receive personalized feedback from members of the Career and Professional Development Track. This opportunity is ideal for first-time presenters as well as those seeking to refine and elevate their presentation style.
