On June 23-26, 2018, more than 5,000 nuclear medical workers from over 50 countries around the world gathered in Philadelphia of Pennsylvania, USA to participate in the largest scaled international conference of nuclear medicine – SNMMI Conference. At this conference, experts of Nuclear Medicine Department in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University were invited to participate in this academic conference for research exchange.
At SNMMI, participants made in-depth discussion of the current hot issues on development of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging. The research with the title of “Clinical factors that influence the diagnostic accuracy of 18F-FDG PET/CT in differentiated thyroid carcinoma with elevated thyroglobulin and negative scan: a meta-analysis”, implemented by Associate Professor Gao Rui of Nuclear Medicine Department, was selected in the conference address again. Associate Professor Gao Rui was designed to make conference exchange of the research on detecting general metastatic lesions of thyroid carcinoma with18F-FDG PET/CT imaging. What's more, Associate Professor Gao Rui has been invited by SNMMI to make conference exchange of the research on application of molecular imaging in thyroid carcinoma for several consecutive years.
Meanwhile, the research titled “The value of 99mTc-MIBI parathyroid imaging and ultrasound in parathyroid adenoma and parathyroid hyperplasia”, implemented by Associate Chief Physician Xue Jianjun of the department, was also selected in the conference for poster exchange, demonstrating scientific research strength in imaging of parathyroid of the department.
In recent years, under leadership of Professor Yang Aimin, the Director of the department, great importance has been attached to cultivate talent and scientific research, promote clinical transformation research continuously, and deepen international scientific cooperation. It is believed that it will constantly improve academic research and overall strength of the department through constant painstaking efforts.
