The non-perfusion molecular imaging space in nuclear cardiology is getting interesting with novel and not so novel imaging probes with PET/CT and SPECT/CT imaging… and the integrated PET/MRI scanners further open the door for more robust evaluation of the heart ❤️ in one go. At the recently concluded 3rd WCCICC congress, many such advances were presented with several engaging sessions and wonderful speakers. The WCCICC TV captured some of the key messages from this congress quite well. Looking forward to further developments in this space as heart failure patients continue to increase in number globally, and with novel treatments for cardiac amyloidosis and other heart failure etiologies, accurate non-invasive assessment of these conditions is crucial for early diagnosis as well as assess response to treatment. https://lnkd.in/edqtjTbX #nuclearmedicine #nuclearcardiology #emoryradiology #WCCICC2023

CTS series(Clinical Theranostics Specialist) Share my readings and my thoughts. 6-week interval, it will be written in the guideline
We can do better than a fixed set of 6 cycles of LuPSMA at a 6-week time interval ! Great multicenter data of >100 patients from Germany with beautiful swimmer plots just published in The Journal of Nuclear Medicine - JNM. Treatment holidays and extended use of LuPSMA can prolong survival in some patients. Happy to open our phase 2 trials FLEX-MRT NCT06216249 and RE-LuPSMA NCT06288113 at UCLA Health with Novartis. #theranostics #PSMA #nuclearmedicine https://lnkd.in/ephE49-K Johannes Czernin Thomas Hope Louise Emmett Michael Hofman Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI)

CardioVascular Services & Nuclear Medicine Manager, CHI Saint Joseph Berea Heart & Vascular Care 2020 CHI Saint Joseph Health Berea Leader of the Year
Thankful to be a contributing part of the Nuclear Medicine community to aid in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment for Cardiac Amyloidosis. The Tc99m-PYP scan is a non-invasive study with both high sensitivity and specificity in detecting the disease. Once these patients are diagnosed, new treatments aid in halting the disease progression, allowing for an increased quality of life as well as extending their life. Great article from SNMMI: https://lnkd.in/eGbiamFk #nuclearmedicine #snmmi #asnc
Renaissance: a revival of or renewed interest in something. This month's Uptake explores the rising interest in diagnosing cardiac amyloidosis. Once thought to be rare, this cardiac condition is driving the demand for Tc-99m pyrophosphate (PYP) scans. With its increased sensitivity and specificity, this nuclear medicine scan can diagnose cardiac amyloidosis noninvasively and with less risk, and the rise in accurate diagnosis has also spurred treatment innovations. Will these scans continue to be in demand? Find out in this month's Uptake! Thanks to this month's Uptake authors Jaime Warren, Ed.D, MBA, MHS, CNMT, FACC, and Mary Beth Farrell, Ed.D, CNMT, NCT, RT(N), FSNMMI-TS.

Discover How #PET Imaging is Transforming #CAD Management Did you know that #PET imaging plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis and management of #coronaryarterydisease (CAD)? By providing precise quantification of myocardial perfusion and blood flow, PET helps in identifying the severity and extent of #CAD, leading to more tailored and effective treatment plans. At the Canadian Association of Nuclear Medicine's Annual Conference, renowned expert Thomas Schindler delves into the revolutionary impact of #PET-determined perfusion and flow quantification in #CAD characterization. This presentation is a must-watch for anyone interested in cutting-edge #cardiacimaging techniques and advancements in nuclear medicine. Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your understanding of CAD and learn from one of the best in the field.
