* comparative evaluation of serial hybrid imaging studies for quantitative assessment of therapeutic response.

For the same three days-and in adjoining rooms-demonstration programs will be presented, providing information on searching PubMed, the U.S. National Library of Medicine service that offers more than 16 million citations from Medline and other life science journals; freeware imaging display programs; open-source tools for imaging research; and designing an ergonomic reading room.

Members of SNM's Scientific Program Committee, its Computer and Instrumentation Council and IHE (Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise), an initiative to improve the way computer systems in health care share information, organized the InfoSNM program.

For press registration only, contact Maryann Verrillo, at (703) 652-6773 or mverrillo@snm.org. Press representatives may also register online at www.snm.org/am. SNM will hold a press conference from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. on Monday, June 4, featuring an overview of the latest research and discoveries in the world of molecular imaging/nuclear medicine. New applications in oncology, neurology and cardiology will be discussed. Also at this press conference, Henry N. Wagner Jr. will announce the 2007 Image of the Year.

About SNM-Advancing Molecular Imaging and Therapy
SNM is holding its 54th Annual Meeting June 2-6 at the Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. Session topics for the 2007 meeting include brain amyloid imaging, hybrid imaging, molecular imaging in clinical drug development and evaluation, functional brain imaging in epilepsy and dementia, imaging instrumentation, infection imaging, lymphoma and thyroid cancer, cardiac molecular imaging, general nuclear medicine, critical elements of care in radiopharmacy and more.

SNM is an international scientific and professional organization of more than 16,000 members dedicated to promoting the science, technology and practical applications of molecular and nuclear imaging to diagnose, manage and treat diseases in women, men and children. Founded more than 50 years ago, SNM continues to provide essential resources for health care practitioners and patients; publish the most prominent peer-reviewed journal in the field (the Journal of Nuclear Medicine); host the premier annual meeting for medical imaging; sponsor research grants, fellowships and awards; and train physicians, technologists, scientists, physicists, chemists and radiopharmacists in state-of-the-art imaging procedures and advances. SNM members have introduced-and continue to explore-biological and technological innovations in medicine that noninvasively investigate the molecular basis of diseases, benefiting countless generations of patients. SNM is based in Reston, Va.; additional information can be found online at http://www.snm.org.
