European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM)

The #EANM24 congress was all about growth and engagement! With about 150 participants signing up to #GetInvolved, our community is clearly expanding. 🎉 We would also thank all the current and future EANM volunteers who joined us at the 'Meet the Volunteers (MTV)' event! This meet-and-greet with current Committee and Council members sparked discussions, collaboration, and insights into the many ways to engage with the EANM. It showed that whether you are a seasoned expert or just starting your career, there is a place for everyone in our association to collaborate and shape the future of #NuclearMedicine. Missed out? Stay tuned for more opportunities to get involved next year! 🔗 Express your interest in becoming an EANM volunteer: https://lnkd.in/dA3VgnP6 📸 Access our photo album: https://lnkd.in/dybBkQht © Faistauer Photography

This week, the #EANM participated in the Heads of Medicines Agencies (HMA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA) Multi-Stakeholder Workshop on Artificial Intelligence (#AI). The workshop focused on ‘enabling the safe and responsible use of AI’ in healthcare, bringing together expert perspectives to explore how AI can drive transformative advancements across the medicine lifecycle. Margarita Kirienko —the incoming Chair of the EANM’s new Artificial Intelligence Committee (launching in 2025)— delivered a presentation on the application of AI in #NuclearMedicine. Her talk covered aspects such as drug discovery, image quality, lesion detection, segmentation, diagnosis, therapy optimisation, and prognostication. She highlighted how AI integration can enhance diagnostic and therapeutic outcomes. Stay tuned— more updates on the future EANM AI Committee will be shared soon!

Join our Executive Office in supporting #Movember! 🧔 During Movember, men grow mustaches to raise awareness for men’s health issues like prostate and testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention. With nuclear medicine leading the way in prostate cancer care, our officers Alexander Berger and Moritz Leon Zieglmeier are proud to participate in this important initiative. Join the cause and help us spotlight the role of nuclear medicine in prostate cancer throughout November! #MensHealthMatters #NuclearMedicine #ProstateCancer #Theranostics #EarlyDetection #CancerResearch

Six months ago, we proudly launched the Erasmus+ Radioligand Therapy (RLT) Academy’s free e-learning portal—a collaborative effort by the RLT Academy Consortium, including the #EANM! Since its launch on April 4, we have been thrilled by the incredible engagement. This week, we celebrated reaching our 1,000th registered user—a major milestone! 👏 Be among the next to seize this unique learning opportunity in Radioligand Therapy ➡️ https://rltacademy.eu #RadioligandTherapy #RLT #HealthcareEducation #EuropeanInnovation

At our #EANM24 congress, we were thrilled to sign four Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) starting or expanding the collaboration with other societies!

Last week, the #EANM had the pleasure to participate in the second International Workshop on Medical Radioisotopes Supply at the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency in Paris 🇫🇷.    Co-organised with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre, this 2024 edition in Paris introduced a focus on the market potential of Lutetium-177 (Lu-177), Actinium (Ac-225) and other innovative medical radioisotopes. Discussions addressed strengthening the medical radioisotope supply chain’s resilience by monitoring supply and demand as well as assessing the critical infrastructure needs across medical systems.   The #EANM was represented by EANM President-Elect Paola Anna Erba, who engaged in discussions on demand scenarios and supply projects, emphasising key enabling conditions, including regulatory and policy barriers. Thanks to all partners for the valuable insights and discussions aimed at delivering these innovations faster to patients!
