Описание: Emerging Nuclear Medicine and PET/CT Imaging Trends: Optimizing Diagnostic Assessments and Therapeutic Interventions

Nuclear Medicine (NM), including PET/CT imaging, remains a mainstay of advanced diagnostic imaging in the U.S. with over 20 million estimated PET/CT and other nuclear medicine scans in 2022. This interactive session will focus on emerging trends including:

Diagnostic and theranostic applications.
Artificial intelligence (AI) solutions.
New radiopharmaceutical applications.
Addressing the contrast shortage.
Recent radiation protection protocols.
Implementing enhanced patient engagement strategies (e.g., to avoid missed appointments).
Reimbursement challenges and opportunities.
New requirements after the federal “public health emergency” (PHE) declaration ends.

Other topics raised by the panel experts.
This session also will highlight recent updates to RadSite’s NM ADI Accreditation Standards, version 3.3.
