Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI)

We're so excited to launch the newest podcast - the JNMT Podcast featuring host Jessica Settle. Episode 1 debuted just in time for Thanksgiving: "Got the Munchies? Cannabis and Gastric Emptying Scintigraphy" discusses the effects of marijuana on gastric emptying scans. Jessica is joined by the article's co-author, Mary Beth Farrell, ahead of a foodie's favorite holiday. Listen here: https://lnkd.in/eDVcF5FG

Fever of unknown origin (FUO) is among the more challenging medical conditions for both patients and treating physicians. Because 18F-FDG PET and PET/CT have played increasingly important roles in diagnostic workups of?FUO?patients, SNMMI, the Infectious Diseases Society of America, and the American College of Nuclear Medicine formed a working group to issue appropriate use criteria for?FUO?imaging in both adult and pediatric patients.

The 2024 updates to the Technologist Scope of Practice have been released! The spectrum of responsibilities for a nuclear medicine technologist varies widely across the United States, and practice components presented in this document provide a basis for establishing the areas of knowledge and performance for the nuclear medicine technologist. Read the full document at https://lnkd.in/eRZ93TuA The nuclear medicine technologist must be in compliance with all federal, state, and institutional guidelines, including proper documentation of initial and continued competency in those practices and activities.

Join Mary Beth Farrell, EdD, CNMT, NCT, FSNMMI-TS, author of the Quick-Reference Protocol Manual for Nuclear Medicine Technologists – 2nd Edition, as she discusses the new edition of this essential reference.

A study using multi-tracer imaging has yielded unexpected results in a new study published in this month’s JNM. Intrapatient intermetastatic heterogeneity, or IIH, was found in a surprisingly high percentage of mCRPC patients. Though the patient survival rate was poor, imaging with multiple tracers shows potential for identifying IIH earlier and more efficiently than a biopsy. This would allow doctors to consider IIH in treatment options and lead to better patient outcomes. Read more here:?https://lnkd.in/eps7gKsj?
