Cardiac PET Advanced Workshop

Cardiac PET Advanced Workshop

December 12-13, 2026

Join expert faculty for the Cardiac PET Advanced Workshop on December 12-13, 2026. This workshop is recommended for physicians who have previously attended ASNC’s Intensive Cardiac PET Workshop or have at least 1 year of experience in an active cardiac PET lab.

Attendees will read along with experts on a wide variety of cases illustrating challenges often seen in clinical practice.

• Day 1 will focus on special patient populations including MVD and CAV, and challenging PET MPI cases seen in clinical practice.
• Day 2 will address non-perfusion applications of cardiac PET. Case presentations will include myocardial viability, sarcoid, infection, and amyloid and there will be a session on recognition of abnormal extracardiac F-FDG activity.
