ASNC2014 attendees will have opportunities to network with nuclear cardiology professionals, contribute to programs that promote innovation and quality in cardiology imaging; and display their latest products at this meeting through advertising, exhibiting, commercial support and educational grants.
New for 2014:
Maintenance of Certification (MOC) sessions will be available with audience response
capabilities. Attend the session and then complete the test for 10 points each. Attendees must be registered with ABIM to obtain MOC points.
- 2014 Update in Cardiovascular Disease module from the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM).
- A nuclear cardiology specific module (2014 American Society of Nuclear Cardiology MOC Module 1), submitted to ABIM for approval for an additional 10 MOC points.
New 2014 International Sessions:
For the first time ASNC2014 will have four international sessions that offer an opportunity to learn about multimodality imaging from the international community and how that view may differ from the U.S.-based approach. These must-attend sessions support a multimodality agenda featuring a collaborative educational and
research effort across many imaging disciplines to help promote a cost-effective, patient-centered approach to medical care.
- International Session I: Asian Perspectives of Nuclear Cardiology
- International Session II: Middle East Perspectives of Nuclear Cardiology
- International Session III: Latin American Perspectives of Nuclear Cardiology
- International Session IV: European Perspectives of Nuclear Cardiology - Joint Session with EANM
Additional Highlights Include:
- Expansion of Cardiovascular
