CNCT Inaugural Educational Conference

Advancing Cardiovascular Care Through Integrated Nuclear Cardiology and Cardiac CT

Saturday, May 2, 2026 | 10:00-12:00 | available in HYBRID format

Chair: Kevin Boczar, President CNCT, University of Ottawa Heart Institute, Ottawa, ON
Co-Chair: Anita Chan, Vice-President CNCT, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB
The CNCT Inaugural Educational Conference is a national satellite educational event designed to highlight the evolving role of nuclear cardiology and cardiac computed tomography in contemporary cardiovascular care. This meeting will bring together clinicians, researchers, and trainees to explore how multimodality imaging can improve diagnosis, risk stratification, and personalized management across a range of cardiovascular conditions. The program will feature expert-led lectures, case-based discussions, and emerging evidence on inflammatory cardiovascular disease, coronary artery disease, amyloidosis, and novel imaging applications. Emphasis will be placed on practical integration of nuclear and CT imaging into clinical workflows, alignment with current guidelines, and future research directions. This conference is highly relevant for professionals seeking to remain at the forefront of advanced cardiovascular imaging and evidence-based patient care in a rapidly evolving field.
