General Secretary Message
The Society of Nuclear Medicine Bangladesh (SNMB) continues to uphold its position as the apex scientific body for nuclear medicine professionals in Bangladesh. Our present achievements reflect the visionary leadership of our pioneers and the dedicated efforts of our senior and junior members who have consistently advanced academic and clinical excellence.
Following the successful celebration of our Silver Jubilee in 2022, SNMB has entered a new era marked by technological expansion and evidence-based clinical practice. Nuclear medicine in Bangladesh has progressed from conventional thyroid studies and planar scintigraphy to advanced hybrid imaging modalities such as SPECT-CT and PET-CT, significantly enhancing diagnostic accuracy, disease characterization and therapeutic decision-making across multiple specialties.
The expansion of cyclotron facilities has enabled indigenous production of PET radiotracers, strengthening both clinical services and research activities. Medical physics and radiochemistry continue to play essential roles in quality assurance, radiation safety, and standardized radiopharmaceutical preparation.
With the continued support of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission (BAEC), nuclear medicine infrastructure in the government sector is being upgraded, while the private sector is also contributing to the expansion of modern diagnostic and therapeutic facilities throughout the country.
In 2026, SNMB is proud to organize its 29th National Conference at Radisson Blu Water Garden Hotel, Dhaka. The conference will provide a strong scientific platform focusing on molecular imaging, theranostics and contemporary advancements in nuclear medicine. It will foster academic exchange, encourage young researchers, promote high-quality scientific presentations and strengthen collaboration among clinicians and scientists in alignment with international standards. Special emphasis will be placed on innovation, research dissemination and capacity building for sustainable development.
SNMB remains committed to maintaining excellence, innovation, research advancement and high-quality patient-centered nuclear medicine services in Bangladesh, ensuring continued progress in the years ahead.
Long live SNMB.
Long live Bangladesh.
