Preliminary Program Concept

The 70th Annual Meeting program will focus on "Next Frontiers: Innovation and Integration in Nuclear Medicine,” and is designed for nuclear medicine professionals—physicians, physicists, radiochemists, technologists, and data scientists to propel innovation, clinical excellence, and workforce development in nuclear medicine by focusing on four broad areas:

  • Emerging radionuclide therapies

  • Development and translation of novel radiotracers

  • Integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into education, clinical and research practice

  • Latest developments in general nuclear medicine

The 70th Annual Meeting promises to be a high-quality educational experience designed to enhance professional knowledge and skills. Attendees will have valuable opportunities to network with colleagues and leaders in the field, fostering collaboration and innovation. The sessions are carefully curated to support best practices and ultimately improve patient care. We are planning another strong educational event, with sessions eligible for ACCME, VOICE (technologist), ACPE, and CAMPEP credits.
