The 46th Annual Meeting of the North American Society of Cardiovascular Imaging (NASCI) features nearly one hundred internationally renowned experts providing a comprehensive update of influential topics at the intersection of radiology and cardiology. Considerable focus is placed on increasing impact of Cardiac CT and MRI on the anatomical and functional assessment of acquired and congenital heart disease. Dedicated pediatric sessions will enhance the viewer’s perspective. Worth up to 27 AMA PRA Category Credits™, this activity meets the entire Self Assessment requirement for ABR Maintenance of Certification (MOC). Additionally, the NASCI 46th Annual Meeting meets ACR CME requirements for accreditation in both CT and MR!
