Specialty Workshops and Sessions

Student Technologist Registry Review

Additional registration fees apply.

Day 1: Saturday, June 9 from 9:00am - 6:00pm
Day 2: Sunday, June 10 from 2:30 - 5:30pm

This course is designed as a review for nuclear medicine technology students and others preparing to sit for the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB) and/or the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) examinations. The course includes an 8-hour review session on Saturday and a mock registry examination on Sunday.

The review session will consist of a review of the Components of Preparedness statements, including the commonly performed tasks in specific content areas as well as review of the procedures, equipment, and pharmaceuticals commonly used. The mock examination will follow the typical registry examination format. Time is allowed for grading and discussion of the examination answers. Participants should bring calculators.

The review session will be informative as well as interactive and fun, with prizes awarded to participating students. 

NCT Certification Review and Mock Examination

Additional registration fees apply.

Day 1: Thursday, June 7 from 12:00 - 6:00pm
Day 2: Friday, June 8 from 7:30am - 6:00pm
Day 3: Saturday, June 9 from 7:30am - 12:15pm
This program is designed for nuclear medicine technologists with experience in cardiac imaging who are considering sitting for the Nuclear Cardiology Technologist (NCT) certification exam. Attendees will be presented with a review of the NMTCB published Nuclear Cardiology Examination Content Specifications. 

The NCT Certification Review and Mock Examination will enhance and reinforce your knowledge of:

• Cardiac anatomy
• Physiology
• Pathology
• Electrophysiology

Plus, you will learn valuable information on ECG interpretation, stress test end points, exercise capacity and performance measures, as well as cardiac and emergent medications.

Nuclear Medicine Board Review - Limited number of seats still available!

Additional registration fees apply.

Day 1: Saturday, June 9 from 7:30am - 5:30pm
Day 2: Sunday, June 10 from 9:15am - 6:15pm

The course covers adult and pediatric general nuclear medicine, PET/CT, and nuclear cardiology. Imaging protocols, image interpretation, and limitations/pitfalls will be reviewed. NRC rules and regulations also will be reviewed.

Emerging Technologies Sessions

Each year, the Center for Molecular Imaging Innovation and Translation sponsors non CE-courses that highlight new agents, issues, technologies. This year there is a session on new Alzheimer’s Imaging Agents, new molecular imaging hardware, and an update from FDA on the implementation of the 212 PET manufacturing regulations.

Sunday, June 10
Session #1: New Molecular Imaging Technologies/Hardware

Monday, June 11
Session #2: Translating Molecular Imaging Agents Into the Clinic
Session #3: FDA Update on 212 Regulations for PET Manufacturing (CE Credit Available)
Session #4: New Amyloid Imaging Agents
Session #5: UPICT FDG PET/CT Protocol Presentation and Comment Session

FDA Sessions

FDA will offer an unprecedented three sessions at the Annual Meeting this year. Two sessions will focus broadly on regulations and policies that affect the development, introduction, and use of all molecular imaging agents, covering the drug development process and IND components such as CMC, preclinical research, RDRC and radiation safety. A third focused session will cover the implementation of new part 212 GMP manufacturing regulations for PET drugs.

Patient Program

SNM maintains a long-standing commitment to supporting patients, partnering with patient advocacy organizations on issues of mutual interest and priority, and providing educational programs for consumers to help them understand molecular imaging and the constructive role it can play in both diagnostic and therapeutic settings.  For the second year, we have developed a  “Patient Program” of suggested talks and events that we think might be of interest to the patient and patient advocacy community.
