About the JSNMT

In 1980, the JSNMT was established to contribute to the advancement of healthcare in Japan and to the quality of our members by studying nuclear medicine technologies.

The JSNMT is now an academic society with 850 members. Our members include radiological technologists, clinical technologists, pharmacists, and physicians who are engaged in nuclear medicine healthcare, persons in charge of sales and research of medicines and medical equipment, and educators at universities.

The JSNMT membership comprises a regular member, an associate member, and a supporting member.
Anyone is eligible for membership if he/she agrees with the purpose of the JSNMT.
However, for those who work in a job rotation, joining our membership is not an easy matter.
Thus, the JSNMT introduced an associate membership so that many experts can have a number of opportunities to give research presentations, to listen to presentations by others, and to join our membership.

By dividing the nation into eight blocks, the JSNMT has organized regional societies (at present, a regional society has not been established in Hokkaido).
These regional societies and the JSNMT should work together to make the JSNMT more active.
Information should actively be exchanged between the JSNMT and regional societies.
This should enable us to make the most of ideas generated in the regional societies at the JSNMT and to make what is available at the JSNMT known to regional societies, which is one of the reasons we set up regional societies.

Recently, we have more participants from our neighbor, Korea, as well as from advanced nations, thanks to support by JICA, making the JSNMT more international. We thus expect that the JSNMT will hold an international summit in Japan.
