NRU Reactor Extends Operations Until 2018

SNMMI Announces the 2015 Clinical Trials Network Webinar Series

Four New PET Tracer Guides Are Now Available

The SNMMI Annual Meeting, June 6-10 in Baltimore, MD—the premier educational, research, and networking event in nuclear medicine and molecular imaging—provides physicians, technologists, pharmacists, laboratory professionals, and scientists an in-depth review of molecular imaging technologies, clinical applications, translational, and advanced research topics.

On February 6, the Canadian government announced that the National Research Universal (NRU) reactor would extend operations until March 31, 2018. They had previously announced the decision to cease the routine production of molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) in 2016. SNMMI will povide updates as more information becomes available.

Join Lance Burrell, MS, CNMT, ARRT(CT), as he discusses working with investigational agents and dynamic PET imaging, the differences between static and dynamic PET and the “how, when and why” of performing dynamic PET. Mr. Burrell will also provide an introduction on analyzing acquired data from the dynamic imaging. Register for this webinar.

An ongoing project of the PET Center of Excellence is the creation of a tracer encyclopedia. In this collection, detailed information regarding various PET tracers and their properties are displayed in easy-to-read charts. Click above for more information.
