Course Applications
- CBNC/ APCA Board application requirements. In order to sit for the CBNC/APCA boards it is required to complete an 80 hour Nuclear Cardiology Physics course. Including Radiation Safety. Classroom and laboratory training needs to include extensive review of radiation physics and instrumentation, radiation protection, mathematics pertaining to the use and measurement of radioactivity, chemistry of byproduct material for medical use, radiation biology, the effects of ionizing radiation and radiopharmaceuticals. There should be a thorough review of regulations dealing with radiation safety for the use of radiopharmaceuticals and ionizing radiation. This experience should total a minimum of 80 hours and be clearly documented.
USNRC and most agreement states require an Authorized User to have a minimum of 80 hours of classroom and laboratory physics training.
Our students also have continued online access to use the course as a Nuclear Cardiology Physics study review for their CBNC board exam.
Course Material - No webcams required.
Selection of Nuclear Cardiology Imaging Tests
- Radiopharmaceutical and dose (including knowledge of radiation biology, radiation physics, and instrumentation)
- Imaging protocol (stress/rest, rest/stress, stress only, viability, etc.)
- Imaging modality (SPECT, PET )
Performance of Nuclear Cardiology Imaging Tests (including Instrumentation, Protocols, and Processing)
- Administer radiopharmaceuticals
- Define acquisition parameters (positioning of patient, etc.)
- Acquire images [with or without attenuation correction]
- Utilize solid-state cameras - Information content to be bulked up with new content May 30, 2020
- Performing SPECT, PET, SPECT/PET imaging
- Select optimal imaging protocol [PET vs SPECT]
- Process images (filtered back projection, iterative reconstruction, motion correction, etc.)
- Performing routine camera quality control processes (daily flood tests, center-of-rotation checks, etc.)
- Perform routine non-camera instrumentation quality control processes (survey meter calibration, dose calibrators, etc).

Radiation Safety and Management of Radiopharmaceuticals
Management of Radiopharmaceuticals
• Perform daily surveys and wipes
• Perform daily surveys and wipes
• Ensure radiation safety (including knowledge of radiation biology and dosimetry)
• Respond to radiation emergencies
• Respond to radiopharmaceutical misadministration
• Follow patient and occupational radiation safety protocols
• Manage the ordering, receiving, unpacking, and handling of radioactive materials safely, and perform related radiation
surveys
• Calculate, calibrate, and safely prepare radiation dosages (including generator elution; radiochemistry; mathematics
pertaining to the use and measurement of radioactivity; quality control of radionuclide purity; etc.)
• Perform red blood cell radiolabeling for radionuclide ventriculography (in vitro, in vivo, etc.)
• Understand radiation physics and instrumentation
In addition - USNRC and Agreement State content material:
- Physics and Instrumentation
- Radiopharmaceuticals
- Radiation Safety
- Radiation Biology
- Mathematics
- Nuclear Cardiology Diagnostic Test and Procedures/Protocols
Detailed Laboratory Procedures Provided - all required laboratory material is provided for you to work with the Authorized User at your facility. We will work with you and the Authorized User to ensure you know exactly what is required to complete your laboratory training. Your Authorized User will sign off on the laboratory portion of your training, typically as part of your preceptor attestation letter.
Course Completion Certificates require:
- All course material thoroughly reviewed
- Seven case studies completed with a score of 80% or higher
- All quizzes and final exam completed with a score of 85% or higher
A course completion certificate will be issued upon completion of all course requirements.
