The Federação das Sociedades de Biologia Experimental is a Brazilian scientific association which runs a number of the mainstream specialized societies in experimental biology and medicine. It was founded in 1985 and currently has the following member societies:

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy</span> University in Bucharest, Romania

Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy or University of Medicine and Pharmacy Bucharest, commonly known by the abbreviation UMFCD, is a public health sciences university in Bucharest, Romania. It is one of the largest and oldest institutions of its kind in Romania. The university uses the facilities of over 20 clinical hospitals all over Bucharest.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Iobenguane</span> Chemical compound

Iobenguane, or MIBG, is an aralkylguanidine analog of the adrenergic neurotransmitter norepinephrine (noradrenaline), typically used as a radiopharmaceutical. It acts as a blocking agent for adrenergic neurons. When radiolabeled, it can be used in nuclear medicinal diagnostic and therapy techniques as well as in neuroendocrine chemotherapy treatments.

Gated SPECT is a nuclear medicine imaging technique, typically for the heart in myocardial perfusion imagery. An electrocardiogram (ECG) guides the image acquisition, and the resulting set of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images shows the heart as it contracts over the interval from one R wave to the next. Gated myocardial perfusion imaging has been shown to have high prognostic value and sensitivity for critical stenosis.

<i>European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging</i> Peer-reviewed medical journal

The European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (EJNMMI) is a peer-reviewed medical journal published by Springer. It is the official journal of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine. Since 1976, the EJNMMI has published material related to the field of nuclear medicine, including dosimetry, radiation biology, radiochemistry, radiopharmacology, molecular imaging probes, reporter gene assays, cell trafficking, targeting of endogenous gene expression, and antisense methodologies. As of 2021, the EJNMMI has an impact factor of 10.057.

Stefanie Dimmeler is a German biologist specializing in the pathophysiological processes underlying cardiovascular diseases. Her awards and honours include the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize of the German Research Foundation for her work on the programmed cell death of endothelial cells. Since 2008 she has led the Institute for Cardiovascular Regeneration at the University of Frankfurt. Her current work is focusing to develop cellular and pharmacological strategies to improve cardiovascular repair and regeneration. Her work aims to establish non-coding RNAs as novel therapeutic targets.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">European Association of Nuclear Medicine</span>

The European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) is the leading professional organisation for nuclear medicine in Europe. Established in 1985, the EANM serves as an umbrella organisation comprising national societies, affiliated societies and individual members working in nuclear medicine or related fields. It is also dedicated to the promotion of nuclear medicine amongst other medical learned societies, EU institutions like the European Union, international organisations like the International Atomic Energy Agency, and the general public.

Frank Michael Bengel is a German professor and nuclear medicine physician. He is the current director of the Department of Nuclear Medicine at the Hannover Medical School.

Numismatic associations bring together groups of numismatists. They may be commercial, hobby or professional. Membership is sometimes by election.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Fausto J Pinto</span> Portuguese academic (born 1960)

Fausto J. Pinto is a Portuguese academic. He is Professor of Cardiology at Hospital de Santa Maria. Former dean of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Lisbon.

Sally Barrington is a professor of positron emission tomography (PET) Imaging and National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) research professor at King's College London (KCL), England, United Kingdom. She joined KCL in 1993.


A clinical technologist, also known as a healthcare science practitioner, is a medical professional involved in the practical delivery of medical physics and clinical engineering services. In some locations there is considerable overlap in closely related terms, for example in many countries technologist and radiographer are synonyms, while in the United Kingdom they are considered separate professions. Clinical technologists can be found in nuclear medicine, radiotherapy, radiation protection, and rehabilitation engineering departments, and they are often described by their scope of practice.
