Join us March 13-15, 2026, for the virtual Masterclass in Cardiac Amyloidosis: Disease Spectrum, Diagnosis and Management.

Led by Program Chair, Saurabh Malhotra, MD, MPH, FASNC, Masterclass features multidisciplinary content that today’s practitioners need to keep current in the rapidly advancing field of cardiac amyloidosis.

Masterclass will cover:

  • the pathogenesis of cardiac amyloidosis;
  • diagnostic techniques and pitfalls;
  • management strategies;
  • mechanisms to facilitate early diagnosis; and
  • treatment and management.

The program will feature in-depth sessions led by expert cardiologists, multimodality imagers, hematologists, and neurologists to discuss the disease spectrum, diagnosis, and management of cardiac amyloidosis.

For Technologists: There will be a two-hour session, “Amyloidosis for Technologists: Tips and Tricks from Experts“.

This session is essential for technologists who are or will be performing radionuclide imaging for cardiac amyloidosis. Leading experts will guide you through an overview of the disease, image acquisition and processing and recommendations to avoid potential pitfalls.

This program is offered free of charge.

Amyloidosis for Technologists: Tips and Tricks from Experts

Overview

ASNC will offer a focused 2-hour session for technologists titled, Amyloidosis for Technologists: Tips and Tricks from Experts on Saturday, March 8 from 1-3pm ET. This session is essential for technologists who are or will be performing radionuclide imaging for cardiac amyloidosis. This session will provide an overview of the disease, image acquisition and processing and recommendations to avoid potential pitfalls. Join us for an informative session with leading experts. The session will offer 2* CE credits for technologists.

Objectives

  • Describe the importance of differentiating amyloid transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis from light-chain amyloidosis
  • Compare technetium-99m (Tc-99m) HMDP and Tc-99m PYP for diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis
  • Summarize key parameters acquisition and processing of Tc-99m bone avid tracers with NaI and CZT camera systems.
  • Identify artifacts and common pitfalls associated with Tc-99m bone avid tracers for detecting cardiac amyloidosis
