European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM)

Last week, the #EANM had the pleasure to participate in the second International Workshop on Medical Radioisotopes Supply at the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency in Paris 🇫🇷.    Co-organised with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre, this 2024 edition in Paris introduced a focus on the market potential of Lutetium-177 (Lu-177), Actinium (Ac-225) and other innovative medical radioisotopes. Discussions addressed strengthening the medical radioisotope supply chain’s resilience by monitoring supply and demand as well as assessing the critical infrastructure needs across medical systems.   The #EANM was represented by EANM President-Elect Paola Anna Erba, who engaged in discussions on demand scenarios and supply projects, emphasising key enabling conditions, including regulatory and policy barriers. Thanks to all partners for the valuable insights and discussions aimed at delivering these innovations faster to patients!
