This is with immense pleasure that I as President of Society of Nuclear Medicine India wish the organizers - a highly successful upcoming 50th Annual Conference of the Society of Nuclear Medicine –India being held from 22-25 November, 2018 at PGIMER, Chandigarh.
I find myself extremely fortunate spearheading this meeting at Chandigarh, when the society is eulogising its 50 years of existence during the golden jubilee celebrations. On this special occasion, we are honoring Society's all past Presidents and Deans to recognize the immense contributions made by them to uplift the society to its current status of fame and prestige.
I have personally witnessed the organizing team of SNMICON-2018 working very hard in constructing the highly enriched scientific program inviting national and international faculty of repute to make the SNMICON-18 as a special occasion. In this Golden jubilee year, we have been able to tie up with SNMMI, EANM and ACNMP and have signed memorandum of understanding (MOU) with these three great and relevant International societies. I consider myself exceptionally fortunate and it is merely a co-incidence that I personally signed these 3 MOUs. The outcome of these MOUs shall be witnessed in terms of the formal participation of the office bearers of SNMMI, EANM, ACNMP and IASNM in the scientific programs of the SNMICON-18. The personal participation of Prof.dr. J. Pruim, Education chair, EANM, Dr Amol Takalkar, president of IASNM and Dr Simin Dadparvar, past president of ACNMP in our 50th annual congress will go a long way in further strengthening our academic association with these international bodies. In the future meetings, we shall be able to have joint scientific sessions in the annual congresses of SNMMI, EANM and ACNMP, students and faculty academic exchange programs. I am sure that all the members of the SNM-India shall benefit from these mutual agreements between SNM-India and the World most powerful societies.
The organizers of SNMICON-18 have been able to put up a very exhaustive scientific program spread over 4 days and is comprised of orations, invited talks, oral and poster presentations, panel discussions and award papers sessions. This year we have received a record number of about 200 abstracts for presentation. The scientific program provides complete coverage to the recent advances in the speciality i.e. molecular Imaging towards personalized medicine, targeted RN therapy, personalized dosimetry and recent innovations in imaging technology and in PET / SPECT radiopharmaceuticals. Participation of the leading companies in the trade exhibition will provide them an exceptional platform to showcase their technological innovations. I am sure all the participants shall have a great learning experience from the scientific extravaganza of this prestigious academic meeting.
Chandigarh had always been a great host ! . I am confident that the conference delegates from all over India and abroad will enjoy the academic, social and cultural interactions over the 4 days of SNMICON-18.
With kind regards
Prof. Dr Rakesh Kumar
President SNM-India
