Located along the banks of the Danube River, the capital city of Vienna, Austria, hosted global nuclear medicine experts at EANM’s 36th Annual Congress.
During an exceptionally warm September week, attendees from 131 nations convened in Vienna, Austria, for the 36th Annual Congress of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) Annual Meeting. This year’s meeting was held both virtually and in person from September 9–13, a month earlier than in recent years. More than 7,000 registered participants had the opportunity to engage with nuclear medicine international experts, participate in robust programming, and witness demonstrations of recent innovations.
Chaired by Valentina Garibotto, the congress held the opening ceremony and welcome reception on Saturday, September 9, in the Austria Center Vienna and included the highlights lecture. Over the next four days, the Congress hosted sessions and continuing medical education on a wide range of topics. This year’s key topics included Alzheimer’s disease, theranostics, and artificial intelligence (AI).
The speakers at Sunday’s plenary session entitled “New Imaging Techniques–Jump Aboard or Watch and Wait” provided fascinating perspectives on AI technology, totalbody PET, the importance of PET/MR, the continuing debate on the importance and relevance of CZT, and sustainability. The session provided a balanced platform of varying perspectives and discussion on these topics.
