NewTG: 2009-2011 -
“New Technologies” is a Topical Working Group (NewT) within the AIPES
organization to provide a gateway to detecting and understanding new
technological developments in the field of non-invasive imaging and therapies
involving radionuclides. As such, NewT is set up by members of imaging and
pharmaceutical industries with extensive background in applied and advanced
imaging.
NewT will receive input from its members on new technological and associated
developments worldwide with a focus on EU legislation. NewT will notify AIPES
of new European initiatives that AIPES needs to engage in. Further, it will liaise
with complementary working groups or committees within the EANM to support
technological and radiopharmaceutical research, training and development.
Particular attention shall be given to projects and strategies on personalized,
image-guided therapy planning, delivery and monitoring.

AIPES expertise
AIPES was invited by EU to partake in meeting to review challenges and potentials of biomarker development in EU
Continue to link with EU (Philippe Jehenson) to promote AIPES expertise for panel meetings
NewTG: Original ideas
1. Promote the idea of standardization of NM imaging2. Support multi-disciplinary training for AIPES “products”3. Engage in HTA and reviews of healthcare/NM costs4. Revisit relationship between AIPES and EANM
