If you would like to attend a Cardiac PET Workshop, we encourage you to explore our January and May Cardiac PET Intensive Workshops.
Cardiac PET Advanced Workshop
December 7-8, 2024
ASNC offers the next level of PET learning with in-depth discussions of challenging cases frequently seen in clinical practice. This workshop is designed for those who attended the Cardiac PET Intensive Workshops or those who have had an active cardiac PET lab for more than one year.
The cases that will be discussed in the advanced workshop include:
- Myocardial perfusion imaging with coronary artery calcium
- Assessment of cardiac allograft vasculopathy
- Viability imaging
- Inflammation
- Sarcoidosis
- Infection
- Interpretation of the incidental findings on CT attenuation correction and calcium scoring
Course Overview
The goals of the Cardiac PET Advanced Virtual Workshop are to increase learners’ knowledge and competence about all aspects of cardiac PET perfusion and metabolic imaging. Participants will be able to describe and interpret challenging studies demonstrating the clinical value of cardiac PET in, the evaluation of myocardial perfusion imaging with myocardial blood flow and calcium scoring, the assessment of viability, and in the evaluation of patients with inflammation, infection and sarcoid. Clinicians will review cases demonstrating the important role of cardiac PET in transplant patients. Clinical cases using Rb-82, N-13 ammonia and F-18 flurpiridaz will be discussed.
Learner Objectives
After participating in this Cardiac PET Advanced Workshop, learners should be able to:
- Explain the added clinical value of both the coronary artery calcium score and MBF measurements for diagnosing coronary artery disease.
- Integrate myocardial blood flow and calcium scoring into PET myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) reports.
- Detail parameters and image findings that suggest potential artifacts when assessing MBF.
- Describe the added value of MBF to PET MPI studies in assessing transplant patients.
- Detail important quality measures for PET instrumentation and accurate image acquisition and processing.
- Identify patient preparation and imaging protocols for cardiac PET inflammation and metabolic imaging.
- Detail the principles and approach to interpretation and reporting metabolic and inflammation imaging studies.
- Understand how to measure and report SUV in evaluation of cardiac sarcoid.
- Identify incidental findings and understand how to report them on cardiac PET studies.
