: The 2021 Society of Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) Annual Meeting was held virtually Friday, June 11th – Tuesday, June 15th. The SNMMI Annual Meeting is recognized as the premier educational, scientific, research, and networking event in nuclear medicine and molecular imaging. It provides physicians, technologists, pharmacists, laboratory professionals, and scientists with an in-depth view of the latest research and development in the field as well as providing insights into practical applications for the clinic.
Many members of the Department of Radiology participated in and presented at the meeting. Read below to see the faculty, staff, and fellows who gave presentations during this year’s meeting. We are proud that UW was represented so well!
