Excerpt

On January 29, 1993, the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC) was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia (Figure 1). Now 20 years later, it may be worthwhile to reflect on the reasons for founding the ASNC, who were the initiators, what were the initial motivations, and how did the ASNC affect the practice of nuclear cardiology.
