Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI)

The Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI), formerly the Society of Nuclear Medicine, is a nonprofit scientific and professional organization that promotes the science, technology and practical application of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging (PET and SPECT). The bulk of nuclear imaging exams relate to oncology, about a third to cardiac imaging and the rest for a variety of protocols, including imaging inflammation and beta-amyloid plaques that cause Alzheimer's disease.

SNMMI: Scanning for cardiac amyloid could help predict heart attacks

While amyloid imaging is typically discussed with regard to diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease, a team of French researchers, presenting at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) 2015 annual meeting, have found that amyloid scans of the heart can predict major cardiac events.
