The Australasian Association of Nuclear Medicine Specialists (AANMS) Theranostics Course will be held at the W Brisbane Hotel (Queensland) on the 24 - 25 August 2024.

After the success of our inaugural meeting in 2022, this year we plan to bring together Australasian nuclear medicine specialists and trainees for a bigger and better theranostics course! By popular demand we will expand our MDT therapy sessions whilst introducing imaging case panel discussions and theranostic consultations to keep everyone engaged. New topics include the role of AI for theranostic volumetric analysis & response assessment, radiobiology and all presentations will be updated with new content.

Over 2 days, the meeting will provide a comprehensive overview of contemporary theranostics practice by a world-class faculty. This will include presentations by experts on the rapidly expanding evidence-base supporting PET imaging and radionuclide therapy (including 177Lu-PSMA and 177Lu-DOTATATE) for the personalised treatment of neuroendocrine tumours, prostate cancer and advanced thyroid cancer in a multidisciplinary setting.

The course is relevant to all nuclear medicine specialists (including those not currently providing advanced radionuclide therapy) to gain experience on the use of PET imaging to determine suitability for and treatment response assessment using theranostics. It provides background knowledge for a nuclear medicine specialist interested in expanding their theranostics practice into NETs, prostate cancer or advanced thyroid cancer, with cutting edge updates and case-based discussions highly relevant to experienced theranostics practitioners.

In addition to the target audience of nuclear medicine specialists, we anticipate broad interest from other specialists interested in theranostics, the wider nuclear medicine community including technologists, theranostics nurses, medical physicists, radiopharmaceutical scientists, as well as an international audience.

On behalf of the organising committee we can’t wait to welcome you to the 2024 AANMS Theranostics Course!
