@snm-mi.bsky.socialTheir work will focus on using affibody PET to more accurately measure HER2 levels in ILC, potentially opening up a treatment option that was previously closed to a patient population with the worst outcomes. Read more about the work and grant: snmmi.org/Web/News/Art...
@snm-mi.bsky.socialThe SNMMI Mars Shot Research Fund and the
@lobularbca.bsky.social are pleased to announce that Adam Rosenberg, PhD, and Laura Kennedy, MD, PhD, have received a $100,000 SNMMI/LBCA Invasive Lobular Carcinoma Imaging Grant.
@snm-mi.bsky.socialCurrent imaging techniques lack the precision providers need to say for sure, but a nuclear medicine imaging technique using 68Ga-HER2 PET/CT may offer insights for monitoring treatment response at the earliest stages. More in JNM: jnm.snmjournals.org/content/67/1...
@snm-mi.bsky.socialHER2-positive breast cancer is associated with aggressive tumors and poorer outcomes. Surgery is often the best option to remove these tumors, and many patients receive neoadjuvant therapy to shrink them first, making removal easier. But how do we know the therapy is working?

@snm-mi.bsky.socialSNMMI is pleased to announce Soichiro Okamoto, MD, PhD, as the recipient of the 2026-2028 SNMMI Wagner-Torizuka Fellowship. The $24,000 annual stipend is designed to provide extensive training and experience for Japanese physicians in the early stages of their careers.
@snm-mi.bsky.socialOver the past year, catch up on how nuclear medicine has brought hope to patients, families, and caregivers around the world.
@snm-mi.bsky.socialNuclear Medicine Week turns 40! This year’s theme, “Radiating Hope,” is a fitting tribute to a field that is transforming the diagnosis and treatment of some of humanity’s most devastating diseases. In celebration of the 40th NMW, we're highlighting moments of hope.
@snm-mi.bsky.socialBut things seem to be changing, especially with the FDA's recent approval of FET. Learn more about the future role of nuclear medicine in brain imaging, tune into the discussion. buzzsprout.com/1986526/epis...
@snm-mi.bsky.socialThe hosts of this SNMMI podcast episode have extensive reading lists, but they’re not New York Times best sellers — they’re images of the human brain. But the use of the amyloid and tau PET scans isn’t nearly as widespread as it could be, mainly due to implementation barriers.
@snm-mi.bsky.socialWhen it comes to dosimetry, Dr. Richard Wahl thinks we can do better. His article in the JNM Theranostics Supplement, co-written with Dr. Yuni K. Dewaraja, makes the case against a “one dose fits all strategy.” jnm.snmjournals.org/content/67/S...
@snm-mi.bsky.socialIn a recent study published in JNM, this imaging modality detected more clinically significant cancer than current methods. Learn more in this month’s issue: jnm.snmjournals.org/content/67/9...
@snm-mi.bsky.socialBiopsies are an invasive way to diagnose prostate cancer, yet they remain the standard. Even when guided by MRI, 20-30% of cases can still be missed when there are negative or inconclusive images, leading to repeated biopsies. But PSMA PET/CT may offer patients another path.
@snm-mi.bsky.socialCongratulations!
@snm-mi.bsky.socialRMC is a particularly aggressive type of kidney cancer that mainly affects young adult males. Additional cancer lesions were found in 65% of patients, and as a result of the scans, treatment plans changed for 21% of patients with active disease: jnm.snmjournals.org/content/67/9...
@snm-mi.bsky.socialA highly versatile nuclear medicine tracer has once again demonstrated how useful it truly is. In a new study published in JNM, 18F-FDG was found to be highly effective at diagnosing and staging renal medullary carcinoma.
@snm-mi.bsky.socialDo your patients ask "Chat" for help understanding their scan reports? While AI can be helpful for decoding nuclear medicine terms, patients should be careful. Send them our fact sheet with tips to protect their privacy and peace of mind: snmmi.org/common/Uploa...
@snm-mi.bsky.socialSupplement your theranostics knowledge with the leading minds in nuclear medicine! The science and practices behind theranostics are evolving rapidly, and JNM is helping you stay up to date. Read the JNM Theranostics: The State of the Art supplement here: jnm.snmjournals.org/content/67/S...
@snm-mi.bsky.social76% of patients given the recommended treatment after combined PET/MRI evaluation were free of seizures within 2 years. Learn more about this study in JNM: jnm.snmjournals.org/content/earl...
@snm-mi.bsky.socialWhen it comes to pediatric patients with epilepsy, we can do better than inconclusive images. Because PET/MRI shows both function and structure, it offers a way to pinpoint areas of the brain causing seizures, and identify patients most likely to benefit from early intervention.
