Molecular imaging professionals, have you registered for the Symposium on Multimodality Cardiovascular Molecular Imaging? This year's event, sponsored by SNM, was designed to pick up momentum from the 2004 Symposium on Cardiovascular Molecular Imaging (CV MI) which became the basis for the first textbook on the subject of CV MI.

The symposium will be held at the Natcher Auditorium at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) near Washington, DC April 30-May 1.

Molecular imaging professionals and participants from multiple scientific disciplines will gather to discuss molecular imaging agents, chemistry, vascular biology, engineering, stem cell therapy, clinical trials, training, education and research.
Topics on the agenda include molecular imaging techniques, micro- and macro PET/SPECT/Echo/MR/CT/Optical Imaging, gene expression, apoptosis, metabolism and more.

The meeting structure is planned as a series of lectures by experts, discussions by panels and abstract poster sessions. The venue fosters collaboration and interaction of participants as well as promoting basic scientific research and development of clinical applications in CV MI.

Submissions are still being accepted for Young Investigator Awards.
