Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI)

The Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI), formerly the Society of Nuclear Medicine, is a nonprofit scientific and professional organization that promotes the science, technology and practical application of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging (PET and SPECT). The bulk of nuclear imaging exams relate to oncology, about a third to cardiac imaging and the rest for a variety of protocols, including imaging inflammation and beta-amyloid plaques that cause Alzheimer's disease.

New practice guidelines for PET imaging of neuroendocrine tumors

Issued by the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) and the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM), the new guidelines are intended to inform any practitioners involved in ordering, performing, reading and reporting SSTR PET imaging.

FAPI PET/CT shows promise as a better radiotracer for cancer than 18F-FDG. It also can be used for detection of infection and inflammation.
