The IAEA invites participants to provide high quality contributions on all aspects of medical imaging as applied to the management of CVDs. Both academic and practice-based papers under the umbrella of the following topics are welcome:
1. Experience in the use of medical imaging for the management of stable coronary artery disease, acute coronary syndromes, heart failure, cardiomyopathies, pericardial diseases, primary valve diseases, cardio-oncology, endocarditis, congenital heart disease or other applications;
2. Member State experience in the implementation of SPECT, SPECT/CT, PET/CT, echocardiography, CT or MRI facilities for cardiac studies;
3. Experience in setting up an integrated cardiovascular imaging facility;
4. Radiopharmaceutical production using cyclotrons and radionuclide generators — including good manufacturing practices and quality assurance aspects — with special reference to imaging agents for CVDs;
5. Issues of medical physics, instrumentation and image processing and analysis related to CVD imaging;
6. Quality audits in integrated cardiovascular imaging and nuclear medicine practices;
7. Radiation protection for personnel and dose reduction for patients; and
8. Ethics, leadership, and education in cardiac imaging.
