OVERVIEW

SNMMI/ACNM Webinar - What is New in Infection Imaging? is organized by Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) and will be held on Nov 12, 2024.

Description:
This webinar will present the recently updated joint SNMMI and EANM guidelines on FDG studies in clinical scenarios related to imaging of infectious and inflammatory processes (I&). Protocols and interpretation criteria related to the use of FDG imaging for assessment of I&I as well as potential “red flags” will be detailed. Additional updates will focus on the application of FDG imaging to specific clinical scenario. Recent literature providing a comprehensive overview of the test’s performance indices will be reviewed.

Course Objectives:

Present the recently developed new version #2 of the general guidelines on FDG imaging in infection and inflammation.
Compare differences and additions in current publication vs. previous version of these guidelines published in 2013.
Describe specific protocols requirements when performing FDG imaging studies in these clinical indications.
Present updated performance indices for FDG imaging in infection and inflammation using recently available evidence-based literature data.
