Highlighted Interviews from SNMMI 2025
Catch up on recent interviews with Jean-Luc C. Urbain, M.D., Amir Iravani, M.D., Liza Lindenberg, M.D., and more faculty from the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) 2025 conference.
Whether it was preliminary research examining the potential of 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT for detection of multiple myeloma, new PET insights on neuroinflammation or an interview with new SNMMI president Jean-Luc U. Urbain, MD, we learned quite a bit during on-site interviews at the Society of Nuclear Imaging and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) 2025 conference in New Orleans. Review the slideshow below to check out some of our on-site interviews from the conference.

SNMMI: Botox May Facilitate Relief from Dry Mouth Side Effect of PSMA-Targeted Radiopharmaceuticals
June 25th 2025For patients being treated with radiopharmaceutical agents for metastatic prostate cancer, the combination of botulinum toxin and an anti-nausea patch led to a 30 percent reduction in PSMA uptake in the salivary glands, according to preliminary research findings presented at the SNMMI conference.
SNMMI: Can 18F-Fluciclovine PET/CT Bolster Detection of PCa Recurrence in the Prostate Bed?
June 24th 2025In an ongoing prospective study of patients with biochemical recurrence of PCa and an initial negative PSMA PET/CT, preliminary findings revealed positive 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT scans in over 54 percent of the cohort, according to a recent poster presentation at the SNMMI conference.
Could an Emerging PET Tracer be a Game Changer for Detecting Hepatocellular Carcinoma?
June 23rd 2025In addition to over 90 percent sensitivity in detecting hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the glypican-3 (GPC3) targeted PET tracer 68Ga-aGPC3-scFv appeared to be advantageous in identifying HCC tumors smaller than one centimeter, according to pilot study findings presented at the SNMMI conference.
SNMMI: What a New Meta-Analysis Reveals About Radiotracers for PET/CT Detection of PCa
June 22nd 2025While (68Ga)Ga-PSMA-11 offers a pooled sensitivity rate of 92 percent for prostate cancer, (18F)-based radiotracers may offer enhanced lesion detection as well as improved imaging flexibility, according to a meta-analysis presented at the Society for Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) conference.
SNMMI: Can Multimodal Monitoring Bolster Outcomes with Pluvicto in Treating mCRPC?
June 22nd 2025Multimodal treatment monitoring, including SPECT/CT exams 24 hours after treatment with Lu-177 PSMA-617, may have facilitated significantly shorter therapy durations and reduced side effects in patients with mCRPC, according to a two-year study presented at the Society for Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) conference.
