Abstract

The Young Investigator Award (YIA) competition session is one of the highlights of the Japanese Society of Nuclear Cardiology (JSNC) annual scientific meeting. Beginning in 2014, the top 3 abstracts submitted to the JSNC annual meeting by candidates under the age of 40 have been considered for the YIA. At the 2015 YIA session, these candidates presented abstracts on the latest important research topics in nuclear cardiology. These topics included phase analysis in chronic kidney disease, cardiac sarcoidosis, and risk assessment using myocardial perfusion imaging.
