Multimodality imaging: Bird's eye view from the 2019 American College of Cardiology Scientific Sessions

J Nucl Cardiol. 2020 Apr;27(2):410-416. doi: 10.1007/s12350-019-02016-z. Epub 2020 Jan 23.

Abstract

The 2019 American College of Cardiology Scientific Sessions displayed innovation in many areas for the evaluation and management of cardiovascular disease from preventive evaluation and care to advanced interventions. Imaging played a central role in these developments with a highlight of the conference being the imaging research presented. This review will summarize key imaging studies which were presented at this scientific meeting which will lead to innovation in the evaluation and management of cardiovascular disease. Experts in nuclear imaging (DW/MA), echocardiography (MS), cardiac magnetic resonance (SL), and cardiac computed tomography (RB) selected abstracts which they found to be of particular interest to the multimodality imaging audience and were integrated into this review (LP).

Keywords: CT; Echo; MRI; PET; SPECT.
