CARDIAC PET
Imagine a future in
which we fulfill the unrealized
potential of PET-MPI…
Accuracy Realize the potential of PET
technology to localize lesions and attain diagnostic
clarity to guide appropriate treatment. Reduce
intra-patient variability that can compromise the
diagnostic accuracy of serial testing.
Outcomes Provide greater confidence to
guide revascularization decisions and enable
individualized diagnostic and treatment approaches.

This program is not to be missed. We have a very exciting scientific program
planned which will present the latest cardiac imaging research and explore the
state of the art in clinical practice for PET, SPECT, and emerging applications of
nuclear cardiology.
A few of the highlights of the program include a special focus on myocardial
perfusion PET and how to start a program, a focus on multimodality imaging to
better serve our patients, and a health policy presentation focusing on what you
need to know about the substantial CMS-mandated practice and payment changes
that will be implemented in the coming months.
This year we are expanding the use of our meeting app and connectivity. As a
result these sessions promise to be the most interactive sessions that ASNC has
ever had. Also, this is the first time that the ASNC Scientific Sessions have been
held in South Florida and we would especially like to welcome our Latin American
colleagues. For the first time ever there will be a read with the expert session in
Spanish in order to facilitate what I am sure will be a wonderful exchange.
Finally, the venue for ASNC 2016 is a stunning resort hotel location, so we
can experience the very best educational and scientific exchange, but in a
relaxed environment. The resort has a wide range of price points, including
some very affordable bungalows, and I hope that many members will take
advantage of the opportunity to extend their stay, bring their families, and
make a bit of a holiday out of the trip.
ASNC is working for you.

ASNC Education
Program Tracks
The program will include the following tracks to allow attendees to
customize their educational experience:
PL
PLENARY: Sessions will include keynote presentations from
A
ADVANCED: This track includes sessions covering advances in
the field of nuclear cardiology and potential clinical applications for
these innovations.
C
I
LL
leaders in the field covering areas such as emerging research, new
technology, and advances in treatment.
CORE: These didactic presentations review topics essential to the
effective diagnosis and treatment of heart disease patients using
imaging modalities.
INTERNATIONAL: These sessions offer an opportunity to
learn about multimodality imaging from the international community
and how that view may differ from the US-based approach.
LIFELONG LEARNING: Participate in study sessions
offering participants the opportunity to weigh in through audience
response and discussion with facilitators and fellow participants to
identify the most appropriate answers to ABIM approved questions.
MI MULTIMODALITY IMAGING: Sessions include
important applications of nuclear cardiology along with other
imaging modalities in current practice to deliver optimal care
to patients.
P
PET: These sessions will offer a broad-based review of the clinical
value of pharmacologic PET, radiation exposure, modeling cost
effectiveness and other areas.
PP POLICY AND PRACTICE: Managing a cardiology practice
has never been more challenging. In each presentation jointly
planned by MedAxiom, you’ll find programming that gets to the
heart of today’s challenges while preparing you for the cardiology
practice of tomorrow.
R
RESEARCH: To include poster and oral abstract presentations
including young investigator oral presentations.
RE READ WITH THE EXPERTS/CASES: Learn with the
best practitioners in the field by walking through cases along with

Statement of Need
In order to maintain competence and improve performance, imaging
professionals must assimilate and integrate knowledge spanning multiple
areas, including clinical data, technical aspects of imaging, and appropriate
application of imaging (e.g., clinical guidelines and appropriate use criteria).
Each of these areas is constantly evolving, particularly as innovative
technologies and novel pharmacologic agents are introduced. ASNC2016 is
an educational activity designed to help you and other imaging professionals
obtain the latest information in clinical practice and review cutting-edge
scientific advances in nuclear cardiology and cardiac imaging.
Disclosure

Reggistrationn and Hotel
Boca Raton Resort
Boca Raton, familiarly known to locals by its first name “Boca,” truly has it all. Beaches
and golf courses; fine hotels and wondrous art museums; jazz clubs and concerts at Mizner
Park; the glittery Town Center shopping mall, with 220 upscale and elite specialty shops;
and, elsewhere around town, countless family-owned boutiques. And let’s not forget fine
restaurants, some of the best in the south. After all, Boca is located in The Palm Beach and,
more to the point, in the heart of Florida’s Atlantic Ocean Coast. All of this can be reached
using three international airports, Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood (less than 20 miles); Palm
Beach (23 miles) and Miami International (45 miles).
The Boca Raton Resort offers golf, a world class spa, dining that can accommodate any
palette, boating, tennis, sandy beaches – something for everyone.

to ensure space at the Boca Raton Resort. The
deadline for guaranteed rates is Tuesday, August

(11%, subject to change).
Room Deposit Policy
All reservations require a deposit of one night’s
room and tax. Reservations cannot be processed
without a deposit. If paying by credit card, the
deposit may be reflected on your credit card
statement as early as August 25 (subject to
change). The deposit will appear on your hotel
room folio at check-in.
All reservation modifications and cancellations
must be made through the ASNC2016 Housing
Bureau and are to be received by August 30. After

reservations, modifications and cancellations.
Please note that there is a $50 hotel cancellation
fee that will be processed immediately after

Cancellations must be made 72 hours prior to
your arrival for refund of your one night’s room and
tax deposit.
Failure to check in on the scheduled date of arrival
will result in the loss of one night’s room and tax
and cancellation of reservation. A fee may be
assessed for early departures.
Official Housing Bureau
The official ASNC2016 Housing Bureau
(ConferenceDirect) requires one night’s room and
tax deposit to secure hotel room reservations.
Any other company requiring deposits or full
prepayment should be viewed with extreme
suspicion, if they falsely imply they are affiliated
with ASNC2016. This could result in attendees
arriving with no reservations and no recourse for
the payment of rooms.
