ASNC 2013 in Chicago ensures that cardiologists don’t skip a beat
The 18th annual scientific session of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology will provide a finger on the pulse of cardiac molecular imaging and medicine later this month at the Hyatt Regency in Chicago from Sept. 26 – 29.
Sessions will include topics that range from controversies in clinical cardiology and cardiac imaging, advances in radionuclide protocols, the latest advances in cardiac imaging technologies and techniques including PET MPI and hybrid imaging of atherosclerosis. In addition to ushering in president-elect E. Gordon DePuey, MD, the meeting will feature presentations of the year’s most groundbreaking studies published in the Journal of Nuclear Cardiology, as well as a key lecture by Timothy M. Bateman, MD, a respected cardiologist from Saint Luke’s Health System based in Kansas City, Mo.
“The program includes content that is relevant to seasoned practitioners, academically oriented cardiac imagers, fellows, technologists, and other healthcare providers,” wrote president James A. Arrighi, MD, about ASNC 2013. “Highlights include poster and oral sessions focused on recent advances, extensive coverage of the latest advances in PET imaging, new SPECT technology, new radiopharmaceuticals, multimodality imaging sessions, and opportunities to learn about the latest products and services from our exhibitors.”
A workshop on the emergent radioagent I-123 mIBG for cardiac applications and an advanced session on “cardio-oncology” will also be presented. Another session explores the role of CT and cardiac MR in the diagnosis of CAD and still more sessions are focused on practice management and the business side of nuclear cardiology.
