cardiac PET, technologist, CE credits

Join us for the Cardiac PET Technologist Workshop, February 21-22, 2026

Developed by technologists for technologists, this workshop will deliver two days of dedicated education from technologists, physicists, and physicians sharing their hands-on experiences and insights. This is where technologist team members need to be to learn how to start and manage a successful cardiac PET lab or need guidance on everyday issues and challenges that arise in labs.

Included in Your Registration Package:

Two days of live education with cardiac PET experts.
Access to OnDemand recordings for 2 weeks.
Access to prerecorded lectures to supplement your learning.
Earn up to 10.75* CE Credits — more than enough to fulfill your annual specialty CE requirement!
