The VISION Trial is the first-in-its-field study to use radiopharmaceuticals that directly target prostate cancer tumors. Hear from one of the lead researchers on this ground-breaking study as he discusses how the trial has opened up a completely new field of study in prostate cancer research and shaped the future of nuclear medicine therapy in combatting the disease. Join us for Episode 4 of the JNM Podcast from The Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

When the FDA approved ioflupane-123, the radiotracer that helps diagnose Parkinson’s Disease, 99% of clinical trial participants were white. Racial disparities in healthcare are an unfortunate reality, but this study, published in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology, takes a first look at the effect of ethnicity on dopamine transporter binding capacity. Read more about the effect of demographic variables on the prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s.

With two parents who were doctors, Dr. Krishna Patel practically grew up in the field of medicine. After medical school, she became interested in cardiology as a specialty, particularly cardiac imaging using PET. Dr. Patel regularly works with patients to monitor symptoms and diagnose various heart diseases. In fact, there are some heart conditions that are so difficult to visualize, that only specialty PET imaging like the technology Dr. Patel uses can diagnose them.

There's a new proposed rule that unbundles diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals from the current packaged payment system that classifies them as "supplies." The new rule will prevent CMS from overpaying for low-cost diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals and give patients access to a more precise generation of imaging agents. SNMMI will be submitting a comment in support of the CMS rule and is celebrating this win for patients! Learn more below and on our website: https://lnkd.in/dkPjWqXa

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.

Alzheimer's is one of the most complex medical conditions. In the past, an official diagnosis could only be made after a patient's death. But now, breakthroughs in molecular imaging allow doctors to visualize the disease in living patients--and these same images may lead to treatment in the future. Dmitry Beyder has been a leader in the SNMMI Technologist section. When not caring for patients, he's passionate about growing the workforce pipeline and connecting both college students and high schoolers with careers in nuclear medicine. As someone whose mother was a physician, Dmitry was immersed in the healthcare field early and wants to pass on those opportunities to the next generation.
