When standard assessments leave HF prognosis in question, consider the status of cardiac

sympathetic innervation

A continuously growing burden on society, heart failure (HF) is one of the most costly chronic conditions in the

United States.1 GE Healthcare is committed to developing new diagnostics that offer

deeper ins ight in to the pathophysiology of

the heart .

NUCLEAR CARDIOLOGY BOARD EXAM PREPARATION COURSESeptember 25, 2013, 7:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.September 26, 2013, 7:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.

PURPOSEThe goal of this board review course is to prepare participants for the certification and recertification exam in nuclear cardiology. It increases learners’ knowledge and competence to treat patients with the appropriate cardiac nuclear imaging procedures.

TARGET AUDIENCEThis course is designed for physicians preparing for the certification or recertification exam in nuclear cardiology as well as physicians interested in a broad review in nuclear cardiology topics.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVESThe primary objectives of the course are to enable participants to:

n Appraise knowledge of physics and instrumentation associated with nuclear imaging

n Explain image acquisition and processing, including artifacts

n Describe risk stratification

n Integrate radiation safety standards into professional practice

n Discuss the use of nuclear imaging in assessment viability

n Interpret perfusion images, including PET and ventricular function imaging

n Utilize perfusion imaging in the assessment, diagnosis and response to therapy in CAD patients and special populations

ACCREDITATION AND CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITPhysicians: The American Society of Nuclear Cardiology is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

The American Society of Nuclear Cardiology designates this live activity for a maximum of 19.25* AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

While offering CME credits noted above, this program is not intended to provide extensive training or certification in the field.

NUCLEAR CARDIOLOGY FOR THE WORKING TECHNOLOGIST — WHAT I NEED TO KNOWSeptember 25, 2013, 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.September 26, 2013, 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.

PURPOSEThe purpose of this program is to serve as an overview of the methods and techniques that may be used to optimize image quality and overall efficiency of the nuclear cardiology laboratory.

TARGET AUDIENCEThis course is designed for technologists performing nuclear cardiology in both private practice and hospital settings.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVESThe primary objectives of the Nuclear Cardiology for the Working Technologist — What I Need to Know course are to enable participants to:

n Distinguish between the various cardiac protocols and develop acquisition parameters for one’s own lab

n Interpret basic ECG rhythms

n Recognize artifacts and potential processing problems

n Understand basic interpretation of perfusion images

n Discuss the importance of quality assurance programs

CE CREDITThe American Society of Nuclear Cardiology is a recognized provider of continuing education credit for technologists. ASNC’s Continuing Education (ACE) credit is accepted by the NMTCB and ARRT. This course has been approved for a maximum of 16.5* ASNC ARRT credits for Technologists.
