SNMMI Publishes AUC for Hepatobiliary Scintigraphy in Abdominal Pain

SNMMI has published appropriate use criteria (AUC) for hepatobiliary scintigraphy in abdominal pain. This is the third in a series of new AUC developed by SNMMI in its role as a qualified provider-led entity (PLE) under the Medicare Appropriate Use Criteria Program for Advanced Diagnostic Imaging.

First Human Application of Novel PET Tracer for Prostate Cancer

In the featured translational article in the August issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, researchers at the University of Michigan demonstrate the potential of a new PET tracer, Carbon-11 labeled sarcosine for imaging prostate cancer, and set the stage for its possible use in monitoring other cancers.
