Certification Board of Nuclear Cardiology (CBNC) Certification Exam

Certification Board of Nuclear Cardiology (CBNC) CBNC emphasizes nuclear imaging protocols for cardiac assessment, with substantial weight on myocardial perfusion imaging interpretation, radionuclide ventriculography analysis, and attenuation correction techniques. Candidates must navigate pharmacologic stress agents—adenosine, regadenoson, dobutamine—and their hemodynamic effects. Expected competency spans gated SPECT reconstruction, coronary risk stratification from imaging data, and quality control procedures specific to gamma camera systems used in clinical cardiology labs.
