Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI)’s Post

Mark your calendars for this June 9th educational event to learn more about how nuclear medicine is being used to diagnose and treat many types of #cancer! 📺 It will be live streamed on #youtube Please share with the patients and caregivers in your network! #theranostics #radioligandtherapies #radiopharmaceuticals #advancedtherapies #patientadvocacy

🎉 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐃𝐚𝐲! 🎉 March 31st marks a significant day in the world of nuclear medecine as we celebrate Theranostics World Day! 🌐💊 By combining diagnostic tools such as imaging techniques with targeted therapies, Theranostics continues to pave the way for more accurate diagnosis, better treatment decisions, and ultimately, enhanced patient care.🙋♀️ On this special day, IRE ELiT - Radiopharma invite you to celebrate the achievements of the Theranostics community and recognizing the tireless efforts of researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals dedicated to advancing this field. 🌟 Let's continue to innovate, collaborate, and strive for excellence in personalized medicine. #Theranostics #PersonalizedMedicine #PatientCare #TheranosticsWorldDay

Tc-99m FAPI-SPECT identified abnormal cellular activity in the myocardium five days after a heart attack and left ventricular remodeling after one year, researchers reported. The study included 58 patients who had a first ST-elevation myocardial infarction and Tc-99m FAPI-SPECT five days after percutaneous coronary intervention. Results were compared with data on 33 healthy individuals who also had Tc-99m FAPI-SPECT

Theranostics: Personalized Nuclear Medicine! 🌟 Besides minimizing harm to healthy tissues while maximizing treatment effectiveness, theranostics also brings new possibilities in managing chronic diseases. It optimizes therapies and monitors progress for better patient care.🎯 I made a brief video that presents a simplified explanation of the theranostics concept. 🎥 #theranostics #nuclearmedicine #therapy

From "Happy Theranostics Day" to "Happy Theranostics Year" ? 😉 For theranostics to move from concept to solid reality, it will have to avoid many pitfalls. It's not far from the difference between a "theranostics world day" and a "theranostics world year". And yet the potential of theranostics is probably at least 365 times greater than today. Let's have fun and do a calculation that is as easy as it is wild but rather exciting: - 1 day x 5 times more indications x 5 times more patients treated x 5 times more infrastructure x 3 times more efficiency in the supply chain... Well we would be there... to celebrate the "Happy Theranostics Year"!!!

Exciting news in medical research! A new PET radiotracer has been developed that can differentiate between diseased and healthy tissues based on fructose metabolism. Fructose metabolism is indicative of various diseases, and by noninvasively mapping it, physicians can more accurately detect diseases and treat them earlier. This is a significant breakthrough in medical imaging and has the potential to make a significant impact on disease diagnosis and treatment. Read more about it in The Journal of Nuclear Medicine - JNM's March issue. #bruker #medicalresearch #PETscans #fructosemetabolism

Does Treadmill Test Show Blockage? A treadmill test, also known as a stress test or exercise tolerance test, does not directly show blockages in the coronary arteries. If abnormalities are detected during the test, further diagnostic tests are typically required to confirm the presence and severity of blockages. These tests may include:- ➤ Coronary Angiography ➤ CT Angiography (CTA) ➤ Nuclear Stress Test ➤ Echocardiogram https://www.hridayica.com/ #DrVivekKumar #Diabetes #treadmilltest #Diabetestreatment #Diabetesclinic #Diabetesdoctors #InterventionalCardiologist #CardiologistInDelhi #hearthealth #heartattack #heartcare #bestdoctor #cardiologyclinic #heartattack #diagnosis #healthcheckup #cardiologistapollohospital #ldl #Cholesterol #stroke #heartvalves #tricuspidvalve #mitralvalve #pulmonaryvalve #aorticvalve #tavi #tavitreatment #heartvalvetreatment #heartattack #stroke #diabetes #cardiovascular #cardiovascularhealth #cardiovasculardisease

This is a 32 years old female patient with symptoms of hyperthyroidism and had been  on treatment with PTU for the past 12 months. She was referred to PDC- redat nuclear medicine center for thyroid scan  to  evaluate the functional profile of an ultrasound finding of a big hyperechoic nodular lesion on the right lobe of the thyroid. Thyroid scan Findings- There is an increased uptake on the right thyroid bed with suppression of the contralateral lobe, salivary glands and background. The thyroid gland has a heterogeneous pattern of uptake with a focally increased uptake around the center of the rt. Lobe which corresponds with an ultrasound finding of a big hyperechoic nodule in the middle of the right thyroid lobe. Pertechnetate uptake percent of the thyroid is 4.1 % with contribution from the right & left lobe of 3.3 &0.9% respectively. (Normal range= 0.4-4.0%).

Splenic switch-off is useful for assessing vasodilator response - also with [15O]H2O, where it can be assessed quantitatively using parametric blood flow images. Mouaz Al-Mallah MD MSc FACC and colleagues have written an excellent editorial in Journal of Nuclear Cardiology (JNC) on splenic switch-off in cardiac PET. Thank you! The original paper by Jonas Brorson and Mads Ryø Jochumsen "Splenic switch-off in [15O]H2O-positron emission tomography myocardial perfusion imaging using parametric blood flow images" can be found here: https://lnkd.in/dHZUVDBk Also thanks to Parthi Arumugam for introducing us to Splenic switch-off back when we started our cardiac PET programme (with 82Rb). #cvNUC #cardiacPET
