The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC) bring you the fourth in a series of complimentary webinars on Wednesday, July 27 at 9:00 PM (PT). These webinars are designed to provide the best practices in Nuclear Cardiology to cardiologists, radiologists, technologists and nuclear medicine physicians.

Speaker: Peter Tilkemeier, MD, MMM, FASNC
Chair, Department of Medicine, Greenville Health System
Professor of Medicine, University of South Carolina School of Medicine - Greenville

The session will provide an overview of the importance of reporting a myocardial perfusion SPECT study accurately and in compliance with the guidelines. The use of structured data, structured reporting and the important role they play in registries will be discussed. At the conclusion of the activity the learner should be able to:

1. Identify the and understand the different guidelines that have been used to facilitate myocardial perfusion SPECT reporting
2. Understand the implementation of the guidelines in clinical [practice regarding reporting a myocardial perfusion SPECT study
3. Implement structured data and reporting in everyday practice in their clinical settings
4. Understand the importance of structured reporting in registry participation, such as ASNC's ImageGuide registry.

No CME or CE credit is provided for this event.

Exercise testing and functional capacity provide both adjunctive and independent information in patients undergoing MPI. Patients undergoing pharmacologic may experience hemodynamic and clinical abnormalities. All of these findings must be incorporated into the final report of an MPI study. This presentation will help the nuclear cardiologist formulate interpretations which incorporate all findings in a concise and clinically relevant fashion. No CME or CE credit is provided for this event.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC) bring you the first in a series of complimentary webinars on Wednesday, March 9th at 9:00 PM (PST). These webinars are designed to provide the best practices in Nuclear Cardiology to cardiologists, radiologists, and nuclear medicine physicians.

Speaker Dr. E. Gordon DePuey, III will provide an overview of “Patient Centered Imaging."

Due to an increased awareness of the necessity to reduce patient radiation and recent advancements in nuclear medicine hardware and software, ASNC and IAEA see the importance to discuss optimal protocols for myocardial perfusion SPECT. This webinar will answer the clinical question at hand to maximize patient comfort and convenience, and to minimize radiation dose. To adopt patient-centered imaging the nuclear technologist and physician must first assess patient needs and then optimize the protocol to appropriately address them.

This live webinar offers an interactive format that stimulates clinical practice. Participants will be able to evaluate, assess their skills and expand their knowledge of Patient Centered Imaging. No CME or CE credit is provided for this event.
