Chair

The mission of ACC's Imaging Member Section is to provide members who have a specific clinical or professional interest in imaging with a forum in which they can advance their professional priorities, offer input into the coordination of imaging activities within the College and facilitate networking with peers in their field.

The Leadership Council will represent those interests within the ACC and facilitate achieving consensus on issues affecting the various cardiology imaging modalities. The purpose of the Leadership Council will be to represent the interests of the cardiology imaging community and to work with ACC leadership to promote communication and cooperation among organizations and cardiovascular societies in the field.

The Section represents five major modalities within the cardiovascular imaging community: CT, MR, echocardiography, nuclear medicine and angiography. Section leaders recognize the importance of a multimodality perspective in diagnosis and facilitate their integration into research, education, quality, guidelines and more.
