New ASNC-led Guideline Details How to Use CT in Hybrid Nuclear-CT Cardiac Imaging

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, September 6, 2022

FAIRFAX, Va., September 06, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC) and three partner societies have come together to answer cardiac imagers' questions about SPECT/CT and PET/CT imaging with attenuation correction, localization of radiotracer uptake and coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS). In a new multisociety guideline published today in the Journal of Nuclear Cardiology, the organizations recommend training and competency requirements for imaging physicians and technologists; describe models for collaborative, cross-specialty study interpretation and reporting; and suggest solutions for the preauthorization and reimbursement challenges that some labs have faced with hybrid imaging in nuclear cardiology.

Key Points: 
  • "Assessing atherosclerosis burden in hybrid imaging improves the diagnostic accuracy of MPI studies and help clinicians identify high-risk patients and treat them accordingly.
  • The question is not whether today's cardiac imaging labs should adopt hybrid imaging but rather how to adapt their labs for the routine use of SPECT/CT and PET/CT.
  • Imaging teams will find the new guideline is a blueprint for modernizing their labs for the delivery of hybrid nuclear-CT imaging.
  • ASNC's Hybrid Imaging Symposium will be delivered in two parts:
    Part 1 is currently available OnDemand on the ASNC2022 online meeting platform.
