SNM Resources

Dear SNM and SNMTS Members,

I’m pleased to announce that today SNM launched a new Web site—discoverMI.org—to provide patients with information about nuclear medicine and molecular imaging, and how they can play a critical role in the detection, treatment and management of disease.

The Web site focuses on three common disease areas—heart disease, cancer and brain disease. General information on molecular imaging, an extensive glossary and a video library are also included on the site. Additionally, patients can stay up to date on the latest in molecular imaging news through Facebook and Twitter pages designed to complement the site.

discoverMI.org is supported by several patient advocacy groups that are a part of SNM’s Patient Advocacy Advisory Board (PAAB), including the Alzheimer’s Association, the American Thyroid Association, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, the Ovarian Cancer Alliance of Arizona, the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance, the American Heart Association, the Men’s Health Network, and the Thyroid Cancer Survivors’ Association.

I encourage you to visit discoverMI.org and share it with your patients and colleagues. You can link to the site from your hospital or clinic’s Web site.

By explaining the benefits of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging in an easy to understand format, we can offer patients both help and support.

George Segall, MD
