The session will start with a brief introduction into Nuclear Medicine informatics in the era of Radiopharmaceutical Therapies and the potential towards personalized cancer care. The session will then discuss challenges in data and terminology standardization, along with efforts to address them. These include a dedicated nuclear medicine ontology (NucLex), efforts towards appropriate DICOM usage for nuclear medicine theranostics imaging and dosimetry data, and standardization of other metadata, e.g. radioactivity meter calibrations, PET and SPECT calibration, imaging and dosimetry workflows. The session will conclude with a panel discussion about ongoing efforts as well as defining a roadmap for the next steps. This will provide the audience not only with insight into this rapidly growing field, but also enable interactive discussions to identify overlap and potential for collaboration.

Objectives

• Explain theranostics for nuclear medicine imaging and dosimetry.
• Discuss theranostics informatics and the need for standardization.
• Identify the areas of improvement and collaboration within nuclear medicine imaging and dosimetry
