Celebrating
Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Week Oct. 6-12 The Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) is proud to join nuclear medicine professionals worldwide in celebrating Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Week, taking place from October 6-12, 2024. Established in 1986, this annual event underscores the remarkable innovations and growing impact of nuclear medicine, molecular imaging, and theranostics in revolutionizing healthcare. These fields offer unprecedented insights into the body’s inner workings, often detecting diseases at much earlier and more treatable stages than traditional imaging techniques. “From advances in cancer diagnosis and treatment to recent breakthroughs in Alzheimer's and dementia research, nuclear medicine is improving lives—and educating others about these advancements is crucial for the continued evolution of healthcare,” said Cathy Sue Cutler, PhD, FSNMMI, president of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI). “Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Week provides the ideal platform to do just that.”
