Overview

A major national healthcare imperative for noninvasive imaging is for the tests to provide value. Nuclear cardiology and cardiac CT studies provide powerful tools for diagnosis, risk assessment, and guiding management of selected patients with known or suspected cardiac disease. In the current environment, imaging must address the combined considerations of improving outcomes and containing costs. To this end, advanced cardiac imaging studies must be ordered on the right patients and optimally performed, interpreted, reported, and acted upon by physicians and allied health professionals. Additionally, effective methods to reduce radiation exposure need to be implemented to maximize patient safety. There is a clear need for physicians ordering, performing and interpreting the tests to understand the issues regarding value-based imaging and to optimally implement this understanding. We meet these educational needs through a live activity entitled: Advances in Nuclear Cardiology and Cardiac CT: 39th Annual Case Review with the Experts. The course is designed to meet the current needs of professionals who perform or request nuclear cardiology or cardiac CT. The course covers the use of these modalities across the spectrum of patients routinely seen by cardiologists in typical day-to-day practice and is designed to improve ordering patterns and increase quality in performing, interpreting, reporting and applying the advanced imaging methods. A unique feature of the program is the extensive use case presentations of each subject as a proven effective teaching tool. It also includes multiple sessions with group faculty discussions. There is a focus on incorporating new guidelines in practice and the latest evidence from clinical trials and registry findings.


Objectives
  1. Identify up to date evidence regarding the information provided by tests, the appropriate use of testing an how the tests affect outcomes an costs in coronary and noncoronary heart and aortic disease
  2. Recognize the implications of societal chest pain and prevention guidelines on the use of noninvasive testing
  3. Explain how new approaches to functional assessment, such as coronary flow reserve, noninvasive fractional flow reserve and plaque measurements increase test information
  4. Improve image interpretation and recognition of image artifacts
  5. Recognize the implications of societal chest pain and prevention guidelines on the use of noninvasive testing
  6. Recognize strategies for reducing patient radiation and contrast exposure
  7. Create optimal reports that integrate test findings and provide guidance for patient management
  8. Learn how AI approaches for test interpretations are changing the field
  9. Use criteria and evidence based strategies to reduce inappropriate testing
  10. Identify the latest information regarding how test findings should be used to guide patient management decisions
