Cardiovascular Advisory Committee

The Cardiovascular Advisory Committee consists of Society members interested in the performance and application of cardiovascular nuclear medicine procedures. It seeks to provide a forum for discussion and development of cardiac scintigraphic methods in an effort to realize the most beneficial applications. The Committee actively seeks individuals who share this goal.

Join the Community

Advisory Community participation is open to all SNMMI members at no additional cost. Members are encouraged to join one or multiple communities to stay informed, engage in discussion, and connect with peers who share similar professional interests. 

To make your selections, simply visit your SNMMI member profile page and choose the communities you would like to be a part of.

CAC Governance

The Society recognizes the need for sub-specialty interests/expertise within the field of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging. Advisory Committees provide the expertise, professional networking and educational programs for nuclear medicine professionals in respective areas and serve as a resource for development and implementation of Society policies.

Advisory Committee membership is voluntary. AC's adhere to Society Bylaws and policies, as approved by the House of Delegates.
