The Canadian Association of Nuclear Medicine - CANM’s Post

David Hail and Paul Cload are off to Toronto next week to attend the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) annual meeting from 8-11 June. They are looking forward to meeting up with old friends and making new connections. Please do get in touch if you’d like to get up to speed on our molecular imaging agent, maraciclatide, in development for endometriosis and inflammatory arthritis. #medicalimaging #diagnosticimaging #womenshealth #endometriosis #inflammatoryarthritis #precisionmedicine #nuclearmedicine #molecularimaging

When doctors need to know how organs, tissues or diseases function, nuclear medicine technologists often get the call. For imaging, they administer a small amount of radiopharmaceuticals and use a novel scanner to capture an image of the specific body part. And with modern advancement in nuclear medicine, by using theranostics, technologists can now be part of the diagnostic and therapeutic team. Share this post to spread the word about the vital role nuclear medicine technologists play on the health care team. #BeSeenASRT asrt.org/BeSeen

⭐ Save The Date: May 15, 18:00 CEST Join our webinar on interpreting tumor response in pancreatic and intestinal neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs). This session is perfect for radiologists, residents, students, and anyone eager to enhance their skills in assessing NENs tumor response, understanding NENs follow-up timing and modality, and evaluating radiological findings with nuclear medicine functional imagings.

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

Fantastic opportunity to learn from masterful experts in this joint session of #EANM and @myasnc!

Actually, there’s scientific backing linking statin medications to the development of cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s. 🧠💊 While there’s a lot of mixed evidence, and this field is new and developing, research published in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine has shown that in certain instances, taking statins may more than double the risk of developing Alzheimer’s. Of course, it’s important to consult with healthcare professionals when interpreting such findings.

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.

The next 3 days we will be unlocking the potential of Nuclear science, a field that is underdeveloped in our setting, but with so much potential. My interest and focus is of course in Radiation medicine,Diagnostic Imaging, Quality Control and Assurance, Radiation Protection, Research and Innovation. Radiation is a gem that can cure not only cancer, but many non-cancerous conditions.. #Swakopmund #Namibia #NuclearScience #RadiationOncology #Medicalphysics #CancerCare

This #NuclearMedicineWeek, we’re shining a spotlight on the cutting-edge advancements in Molecular Imaging and #Theranostics! From #PET/CT and #PET/MRI to revolutionary tracers like F-18 FDG, Ga-68 PSMA, and F-18 fluciclovine, the field of Nuclear Medicine is transforming how we visualize disease at its most fundamental level. These innovations are delivering unprecedented sensitivity and specificity, especially in the detection and staging of cancers, including prostate, neuroendocrine, and brain tumors. Join us in celebrating the life-saving impact of these technologies, as we pave the way for #personalizedtreatment and improved patient outcomes across the globe. What’s next in Nuclear Medicine? Let’s discuss! #MolecularImaging #AlphaTherapy #Theranostics #PETMRI #PETCT #MedicalInnovation #HealthcareTransformation #NuclearMedicineWeek
