Here is a picture of Donna Manns and I, standing in front of the jukebox by her booth. Donna's company, Astellas, offers a service to coach patients who are prepping for a cardiac stress test. Like so many other people at the conference, Donna was enthusiastic.

In fact, I have always felt that SNMMI is really an upbeat, and enthusiastic show. It seems as though everyone is excited.

There were several new products introduced at the show, which we will be writing about. Both Siemens and Spectrum Dynamics were displaying new scanners at the show, which we will be writing about, including some new synthesis modules on display, and a lot of talk about theranostics.

It is a long show from 10:00am to 5:00pm, but the exhibit hall seemed to always be packed with people discussing the new technology and a lot of new scientific developments.

Philadelphia was a great venue, and the Convention Center is right next to the Reading Terminal Market so nobody went hungry! I have also added to my collection of SNMMI T-shirts, which is always a conversation starter at my Health Club.

Next year, the show will be in Anaheim, so I will be looking forward to that as well.
