SNM to showcase the latest research in molecular imaging and nuclear medicine

Scientific abstract submission site now Open for SNM's 56th Annual Meeting

Reston, Va.—SNM invites scientific investigators to submit abstracts to present their research at the society's 56th Annual Meeting—the world's largest event dedicated to molecular imaging and nuclear medicine—June 13-17, 2009, in Toronto, Canada.

"The emerging field of molecular imaging is vital and state-of-the-art," said SNM President Robert Atcher, Ph.D., M.B.A., who represents the society's more than 17,000 molecular imaging and nuclear medicine professionals. "At SNM's Annual Meeting, researchers from around the world come together to present the most leading-edge research in the field today—research that will help make personalized medicine a reality."

"This meeting offers researchers the ideal opportunity to present their work at an international forum of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging professionals," explained Frederic H. Fahey, D.Sc., chair of SNM's Scientific Program Committee and director of nuclear medicine/PET physics at Children's Hospital, Boston, Mass. "Not only will presenting authors be able to highlight their work—they will also be able to hear about other exciting research being performed in molecular imaging around the world," Fahey added. More than 1,800 abstracts will be presented from authors in 80 countries during the five-day event.
