Research, Opportunities, and Publications

SNMMI is a key hub of research and science for nuclear medicine and molecular imaging. Through society forums such as The Journal of Nuclear Medicine (JNM) and the SNMMI Annual Meeting, the community synergistically develops new tracers, modalities and therapies and establishes best practices for clinical use. Through the SNMMI Clinical Trials Network, the society also assists clinical trials by promoting image standardization and scanner validation worldwide.
