Preliminary Program

08:30-08:50: Welcome

08:50-10:00: General Assembly

10:00-10:30: Coffee Break

PIC/S for ^99mTc-based radiopharmaceuticals:

Moderators: Apr. Pieter De Jonghe (AZ Groeninge) & prof. dr. Tim Van den Wyngaert (UZA/UA)

10:35-11:00: Experiences from two centres’ PIC/S journey: From theory to practice – Apr. Nele Cromphout (AZORG)

11:00-12:30: Multi-stakeholder panel discussion on the path towards PIC/S implementation in Belgium

• VBS representative (dr. Raf Verscuren)
• FAGG representative (Margriet Gabriels, Emmanuelle Gay)
• BVZA representative (prof. apr. Thomas De Rijdt)
• BARR representative (prof. apr. Vicky Caveliers)
• Captains of industry (GE & Curium)

This session addresses the implications of implementing PIC/S requirements in nuclear medicine practice through real-world case studies and a multi-stakeholder panel discussion. By presenting the PIC/S implementation journeys of both a small peripheral hospital and a medium-to-large center, the session illustrates how to tackle the challenges of PIC/S with respect to safeguarding patients access and managing economic impact. The subsequent panel discussion with representatives from professional societies (BELNUC, VBS/GBS), regulatory authorities (FAMHP), and industry explores shared accountability, regulatory ethics, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability of services. Together, these components provide participants with practical insight into ethically responsible and economically sustainable decision-making in a highly regulated healthcare environment.

All BELNUC members in good standing are cordially invited to attend the first 2026 seminar as well as the general assembly of our society on Saturday March 14^th , 9:00 – 12:30. Only members in good standing can vote!

EANM is currently carrying out two important surveys: an AI Survey & an Optical Imaging Survey.

We would like to kindly request you to participate in both surveys – please find all the information about them below. Thank you!

1. AI Survey 

AI is rapidly transforming healthcare and nuclear medicine. To better understand its potential, challenges, and future directions, take part in our anonymous survey designed by the EANM AI Committee and the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC).  

We need insights from everyone: professionals already working with AI, colleagues with little or no experience, and anyone curious about its role in our field. Your input will help build a clearer picture of how AI is perceived, where it is making an impact, and what is needed for responsible integration in healthcare. 

🕒 The survey takes about 10–20 minutes to complete. 

📅 Deadline: October 15, 2025

🔗 Participate now

2. Optical Imaging survey

We invite you to participate in our EANM consensus survey on optical imaging in clinical nuclear medicine. Your input will help:

• Identify key indications where optical imaging can enhance nuclear medicine
• Explore growth opportunities for the field
• Define its optimal place within nuclear medicine strategies

🕒 The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete

📅 Deadline: October 15, 2025

We are happy to share with you that the first RLTech and Nurse Academy in Flanders on June 21^st at Technopolis, Mechelen was a great success.

With over 70 participants—including technologists, nurses, and nuclear medicine physicians—from all over Flanders, the event created a dynamic space for learning, collaboration, and innovation.

Designed specifically for technologists and urology-oncology nurses involved (or soon to be involved) in treating prostate cancer patients with lutetium-177 based radioligand therapy (RLT), the academy aimed to accelerate the learning curve for this cutting-edge treatment.

A distinguished panel of experts, including Dr. Michiel Strijbos, Dr. Sofie Van Binnebeek, Greta Demets, and Steven Stienaers, provided valuable insights on:

• Patient education
• Radioprotection
• The evolving roles of nurses and technologists before and during treatment

The event also highlighted the power of multidisciplinary collaboration, always keeping the patient experience at the heart of our efforts.

We are already looking forward to the next edition in the south at the end of this year!
