Hosted by Siemens Healthineers, the Molecular Imaging World Summit 2019 brought together over 240 participants from more than 140 institutions around the world. Featuring 45 speakers, the two-day program included individual talks and panel discussions around the need for quantification and MI’s unique contribution to early diagnosis, planning, and therapy management. A closing session explored possibilities for progressing PET and SPECT imaging. Fueled by optimism for the future, the Summit fostered lively discussion around opportunities for molecular imaging and the field’s significance in the expansion of personalized care.
