With changing practices driven by advances in technology, tracers and drug development, it is important to keep up to date with the evolving role of PET (Positron Emission Tomography) and how it can affect clinical pathways as well as research.
Join us for this annual meeting to explore the latest innovations in PET-CT technology. Discover how advancements in tracers and drug development are transforming dementia imaging, particularly with the emergence of disease-modifying treatments. Additionally, delve into the evolving role of PET-CT in prostate cancer imaging and cutting-edge cardiovascular research.
By attending, you will:
- Learn how total body PET-CT is changing clinical pathways and advancing research
- Gain a better understanding of the use and effects of disease-modifying drugs in Alzheimer’s disease and how they can impact patients and affect PET pathways
- Understand the impact of PSMA PET CT imaging in the staging of prostate cancer
- Gain a better understanding of the advances in cardiovascular PET research
