AB KEY  POINTSPhysician  certification  and  laboratory  accreditation  are  crucial  components  of  quality  management  in  nuclear  cardiology.Physician  certification  is  a  process  by  which  a  physician  receives  professional  recognition  for  having  achieved  the  necessary  knowledge,  skills,  and  experience  in  a  specific  field.The  Certification  Board  of  Nuclear  Cardiology  (CBNC)  is  an  entity  that  was  established  with  the  main  purpose  to  develop  the  nuclear  cardiology  certification  for  appropriately  trained  physicians  (cardiologists,  radiologists,  and  nuclear  medicine  physicians)Laboratory  accreditation  is  an  analytical  process  that  provides  stringent  national  standards  to  ensure  a  high  level  of  quality,  hopefully  with  a  direct  impact  on  patient  care.There  exists  a  mandate  for  advanced  imaging  laboratories  to  be  accredited  by  one  ofthe  four  recognized  accrediting  bodies  for  appropriate  reimbursement.The  accreditation  process  is  a  quality-driven  practice  for  assessment  of  equipment,  staff,  policies,  procedures,  image  quality,  and  reporting.
