The Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) has named Tanya Tolpegin as its first CEO.
Tolpegin comes to the Washington, DC-based society from Professional Landcare Network (PLANET), a $6 million trade association for the lawn care and landscape industry. As CEO, she managed the successful merger of two legacy associations to form the current association, according to the SCCT.
Previously, she served as vice president of U.S.A. Floral Products, and was responsible for the management, execution, and marketing of branded floral products.

![Axial images from unenhanced calcium score cardiac CT (left) and curved planar reformation images from CT angiography (right) show that higher long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with greater coronary artery calcium and more obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Top row: Images in a 68-year-old male patient with higher 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (7.9 μg/m3 for particulate matter measuring ≤2.5 μm in diameter [PM2.5] and 17.4 parts per billion [ppb] for NO2) with extensive CAD (coronary artery calcium score [CACS] >1,000 and obstructive CAD [≥70% diameter stenosis]). Bottom row: Images in a 57-year-old female patient with lower 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (6.3 μg/m3 for PM2.5 and 4.6 ppb for NO2) with no CAD (CACS = 0 and no obstructive stenosis).](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/hanneman.r6SMLzkezo.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
