The May issue showcases the field’s evolution with studies on vascular aging, hybrid imaging, and AI in patient education. The Editor’s Choice highlights a 99mTc-HMDP SPECT/CT myocardium-to-blood ratio for the detection of ATTR cardiomyopathy , with an editorial pointing to a future of more precise, quantitative imaging. Additional research examines myocardial flow reserve by diabetes status, PET/MRI for scar detection, and ChatGPT’s accuracy in answering patient questions. A review on fibroblast activation imaging and a debate on amyloidosis screening complete the issue.
The April issue highlights the potential of nuclear cardiology to improve assessment and treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD). The Editor’s Choice study, supported by an ASNC/IANC Research Fellowship grant, explores post-exercise PET imaging of skeletal muscle perfusion to evaluate PAD severity, with an editorial noting its contribution to the growing body of PAD imaging research. A state-of-the-art review examines how lessons from coronary artery disease could guide PAD care. Additional content includes a phase I study of a fatty acid PET tracer, FDG PET imaging for cardiac sarcoidosis, and reflections on innovation in the field.
The March issue features a President’s Message from Dr. Panithaya Chareonthaitawee on raising awareness of amyloidosis. A featured study challenges four large language models (LLMs) with ASNC’s Board Exam practice questions, exploring AI’s potential in image interpretation and clinical reasoning. Other highlights include the I-NERVE study on [123I]-MIBG SPECT/CT in wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis, the accuracy of low-dose myocardial perfusion imaging, a tutorial on diagnosing infection vs inflammation with [18F]FDG-PET/CT, and more.
