ASNC / SNMMI Recommendations
ASNC / SNMMI Recommendations
Together the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC)and the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) have issued a position statement that concludes myocardial perfusion PET is preferred and recommended imaging for patient with known or suspected coronary artery disease.
There are no clinical scenarios where PET should not be considered a preferred test for patients who meet appropriate criteria for a stress imaging test and who require pharmacologic stress.
Cardiac PET/CT combines positron emission tomography with computed tomography to provide detailed images of the heart, offering superior accuracy in detecting coronary artery disease compared to traditional methods.
Patients with suspected coronary artery disease, inconclusive stress tests, or those unable to perform exercise-based assessments are ideal candidates for Cardiac PET/CT.
Yes, it offers higher sensitivity and specificity, reducing false positives and providing clearer insights into heart health.
Not all patients are suitable for PET/CT; eligibility depends on specific medical criteria and physician assessment.
Insurance requirements vary by payor. While Medicare allows certain PET indications, most commercial insurers require prior authorization. CHS helps your team navigate documentation, coding, and pre-approval workflows to reduce denials and streamline reimbursement.
