ASNC’s new Cardiac PET Curriculum is designed to improve your knowledge and understanding of cardiovascular PET imaging. The Cardiac PET Curriculum contains a series of 26 modules addressing the fundamentals of PET imaging, hardware, and software associated with PET scanners, clinical applications with case-based scenarios, and detailed protocols for use.
Learner Objectives
After participating in this activity, learners should be able to achieve the following:
- Differentiate the clinical value of PET versus SPECT imaging
- Describe the various hardware and software options for PET imaging and their strengths and limitations
- Employ procedures to ensure PET studies are acquired appropriately for clinical PET studies.
- Explain the various PET imaging protocols and patient preparation critical to performing appropriate PET studies
- Describe how to acquire and report myocardial blood flow results from a PET perfusion study
- Detail shielding, patient preparation and other regulatory requirements to establish a PET facility
