The European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) is an umbrella organisation comprising 41 national nuclear medicine member societies, 18 non-European affiliated societies and 3,200 individual members from over 80 countries, including physicians, scientists, technologists and other persons working in nuclear medicine or related fields. It is a professional non-profit association representing the nuclear medicine sector to the European institutions[1] and informing the general public and healthcare authorities about ongoing developments within the field.

Activities

The EANM hosts its own annual congress, which attracts more than 6,300 delegates.[2][3] The EANM Congress features plenary lectures, free paper sessions on the most relevant advances in the field, symposia and debates, a full CME programme and a self-contained technologists’ continuing education section.

The EANM publishes practical guidelines for a wide range of nuclear medicine procedures, both independently and in collaboration with other professional organisations such as its American counterpart, the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging.[4][5]

History

The EANM was founded in 1985 in London when the Society of Nuclear Medicine Europe merged with the European Nuclear Medicine Society.[6] Both societies’ focuses are still reflected within the EANM since the association simultaneously acts as a forum for individual members (who convene annually at the Members’ Assembly) and as an umbrella for the nuclear medicine societies of Europe (which convene at the Delegates’ Assembly).[7]
