Proffered articles describing original laboratory or clinical investigations, brief communications, and letters to the editor will be considered for publication. Occasionally, invited articles, editorials, and invited perspectives of selected topics will be published. Manuscripts, including 铿乬ures and tables, must be original and not under consideration by another publication.</p> <p>In preparing manuscripts, authors should follow the <em>Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals </em><a href="http://www.icmje.org/" target="_blank">(</a><a href="http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/">http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/</a>) of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors and the speci铿乧 instructions detailed below. Also, helpful guidance in conforming to the Recommendations may be found in <em>Medical Style & Format: An International Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers </em>(Philadelphia, PA: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins; 1989) and in the <em>AMA Manual of Style </em><a href="http://www.amamanualofstyle.com/oso/public/" target="_blank">(available by subscription at </a><a href="http://www.amamanualofstyle.com/oso/public/index.html">http://www.amamanualofstyle.com/oso/public/index.html</a>).</p> <p>According to the Recommendations, allegation of scienti铿乧 misconduct or fraud arises if there is substantial doubt about the honesty or integrity of the work, either submitted or published. In the event of allegations of scienti铿乧 misconduct or fraud, <em>JNM </em>follows the Recommendations. When appropriate, <em>JNM </em>reserves the right to present the allegations to the author’s institution or the agency funding the research.</p> <h1 style="font-size:16pt">Manuscript Submission</h1> <p>New manuscripts should be submitted online at the <em>JNM</em> Manuscript Processing site (<a href="https://submit-jnm.snmjournals.org">https://submit-jnm.snmjournals.org</a>).</p> <p>For instructions, visit the help page (<a href="https://submit-jnm.snmjournals.org/submission/submissionhelp">https://submit-jnm.snmjournals.org/submission/submissionhelp</a>).</p> <p>For inquiries and correspondence regarding submissions, status, and general manuscript questions, visit our Editorial Contact page (<a href="https://jnm.snmjournals.org/content/editorial-contact">https://jnm.snmjournals.org/content/editorial-contact</a>).</p> <h2>Cover Letter</h2> <p>All manuscripts should be accompanied by a cover letter from the author responsible for correspondence about the manuscript. The cover letter should contain a statement that the manuscript has been seen and approved by all authors. If there are more than 10 authors, the speci铿乧 contribution of each author must be substantiated in the cover letter. The cover letter should inform the editor of potential overlap with other materials already published or submitted for publication and should provide a reference to or a copy of this material. The cover letter should also disclose any con铿俰ct of interest—铿乶ancial or otherwise—that may directly or indirectly in铿倁ence the content of the manuscript submitted. Finally, the cover letter should provide any additional information that may be helpful to the editor.<a id="authorship" name="authorship"> </a></p> <h2>Authorship and Permissions</h2> <p>Each author must have contributed significantly to the submitted work. As recommended by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, all authors must have made substantial contributions in all 3 of the following categories:</p> <ol> <li>Contributing to conception and design, or acquiring data, or analyzing and interpreting data;</li> <li>Drafting the manuscript, or critically contributing to or revising the manuscript, or enhancing its intellectual content; and</li> <li>Approving the 铿乶al content of the manuscript.</li> </ol> <p>Simple participation or collection of data alone does not justify authorship but should be mentioned in the acknowledgment section. Changes in authorship after the 铿乺st review require a written request by the corresponding author and a written authorization from the authors who are to be added or deleted.</p> <p>If any 铿乬ures or tables in the manuscript were previously published, this should be acknowledged and written permission from the publisher should be included.</p> <h2>Ethical Responsibilities</h2> <p>For human studies, approval must be obtained from the institutional review board or equivalent ethics committee and written informed consent must be obtained from research subjects, unless this requirement is waived by the institutional review board or equivalent. For studies in the United States, compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act is also required. Authors must also comply with the clinical trial registration statement from the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, and the clinical trial registration number must be provided.</p> <p>For any 铿乺st-in-human study of a new radiopharmaceutical, the following language should be included in the article to facilitate allowing others to study the drug under the Radioactive Drug Research Committee regulations, rather than having to 铿乴e additional applications for an investigational new drug or an exploratory investigational new drug: “The mean and standard deviation of the administered mass of [drug] was XX ± YY μg (range, AA–ZZ μg). The mean administered activity was XX ± YY MBq (range, AA–ZZ MBq). There were no adverse or clinically detectable pharmacologic effects in any of the [##] subjects. No signi铿乧ant changes in vital signs or the results of laboratory studies or electrocardiograms were observed [if true].”</p> <p>For animal studies, approval must be obtained from the appropriate institutional animal care and use committee for compliance with the National Institutes of Health for use of laboratory animals or equivalent.</p> <h2>Assignment of Copyright</h2> <p>All manuscripts submitted to The Journal of Nuclear Medicine should be accompanied by a copyright disclosure statement in compliance with the Copyright Revision Act of 1976, effective January 1, 1978. The Assignment of Copyright agreement must be included as a supplemental file in your submission or sent by email to the JNM of铿乧e (jnm@snmmi.org). For the JNM Assignment of Copyright form, click <a href="https://jnm.snmjournals.org/copyright">here</a>.</p> <p>Manuscripts presenting research that was funded in whole or part by US/UK/EU government organizations, such as NIH (US) and Wellcome Trust (UK), are welcomed by <em>JNM</em>. Upon 铿乶al publication, these manuscripts will be deposited to PubMed Central with an embargo period of 6 months. If Immediate Open Access (IOA) is selected, the embargo is waived. Refer to section below for details on IOA.<a id="manuscript-review" name="manuscript-review"> </a></p> <hr /> <h1 style="font-size:16pt">Manuscript Review, Revision, and Resubmission</h1> <p>Submitted manuscripts are reviewed for originality, significance, adequacy of documentation, composition, and adherence to these guidelines. However, editorial decisions are based not only on the technical merits of the work but also on factors such as priority for publication and relevance to the general readership of <em>JNM</em>. All manuscripts are judged in relation to other submissions currently under consideration.</p> <p>Two helpful publications to read before writing a manuscript are <a href="https://doi.org/10.1177/0272989X9101100203">“The Ef铿乧acy of Diagnostic Imaging” by Fryback and Thornbury (<em>Med Decis Making</em>. 1991;11:88–94)</a> and <a href="https://doi.org/10.1148/radiol.2383041109">“Bias in Research Studies” by Sica (<em>Radiology</em>. 2006;238:780–789)</a>.</p> <p>At the discretion of the Editors, the manuscript may be returned rapidly—without external peer review—if deemed not competitive or outside the scope of <em>JNM</em>. Rebuttals to rejected manuscripts are strongly discouraged, and requests for resubmission of rejected manuscripts are generally not granted without signi铿乧ant demonstration of errors in the review or decision process. Most articles are rejected on grounds of insuf铿乧ient priority or lack of relevance to <em>JNM</em>, not data quality or technical issues.</p> <p>Manuscripts must be written in English. When necessary, authors should seek the assistance of experienced, English-speaking medical editors before submission. A medical editor should review the 铿乶al draft of the original and any revisions of the manuscript. Authors will be required to provide revisions of articles written in substandard English before peer review.</p> <p>Manuscripts considered suitable for review are evaluated by two reviewers. The Editors select the reviewers and make the 铿乶al decision on the manuscript. Authors may suggest reviewers for their manuscripts. Referees who review a manuscript remain unknown to the authors.</p> <p>It is unusual for a manuscript to be accepted for publication without 铿乺st undergoing a process of revision. Revised manuscripts are judged on the adequacy of responses to suggestions and criticisms made during the initial review. Revision of a manuscript does not guarantee acceptance.</p> <!-- start revised 01/19/2024 --> <p>A revision should be accompanied by a point-by-point reply to the reviewers’ and editors’ critiques in which any changes are brie铿倅 described. The authors also should provide justi铿乧ation for not altering the manuscript in response to any reviewer comments believed to be inappropriate. The response will be supplied in a plain-text online field in the submission system. If special characters, complex equations, and/or images are required, a supplement to the response can be uploaded as a supplemental file. This file should be labeled as "Response to reviewers" and cited in the text response, e.g., "see supplemental file for equation/image."</p> <p>In the revised manuscript, <span style="color:#FF0000;">red text</span> should be used to indicate all changed text within the manuscript itself. Significant deletions should be noted in the point-by-point reply only. A clean version of the manuscript should also be provided. Markup from the tracked changes feature in Microsoft Word are not supported by submission system and will not appear on the review PDF. The revised manuscript can be supplied as a PDF as long as its original file is supplied in Microsoft Word format as a supplemental file.</p> <p>The revised manuscript, accompanying reply, and all files to be published must be submitted to <em>JNM</em> via the online submission system (<a href="https://submit-jnm.snmjournals.org">https://submit-jnm.snmjournals.org)</a> within 30 days of the date of the editorial decision. If circumstances prevent completing the revisions by the deadline, please contact Susan Alexander at 703-326-1185 or at <a href="mailto:salexand@snmmi.org" target="_blank">salexand@snmmi.org</a>. If the revisions are not received within 3 months after being requested, the manuscript may be started on a new review cycle and given a new manuscript number.</p> <!-- end revised 01/19/2024 --> <p>All accepted manuscripts are subject to editing for accuracy, clarity, and style.<a id="preprints" name="preprints"> </a></p> <h3>Submission of Preprints</h3> <p>Authors who submit manuscripts that have been posted on a preprint server must agree and adhere to the following conditions to be considered in any SNMMI journal:</p> <ol> <li>During submission, authors must acknowledge preprint server deposition including DOI and licensing terms in the cover letter. If preprint server deposition occurs after submission and prior to acceptance, authors must immediately notify <em>JNM</em> staff. Preprint server deposition after acceptance is not allowed.</li> <li>Versions of a manuscript that have been altered as a result of SNMMI journal’s peer review process may not be deposited.</li> <li>If accepted, authors are required to select the Immediate Open Access option to publish under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY).</li> <li>Upon publication, authors are responsible for updating the archived preprint with a DOI and a URL link to the published version of the article on the journal website.</li> <li>The journal follows an embargo policy for submitted and accepted manuscripts that restricts media coverage until publication. Authors are advised to avoid promoting preprints of their submitted manuscripts in traditional media and in social media until they are published by the journal or released from the review process.</li> </ol> <p>Consideration for publication of manuscripts deposited to a preprint server will involve determining if publication of the submitted manuscript will add meaningful new information to the medical literature. Final determinations are at the discretion of the journal Editor.<a id="publication-charges" name="publication-charges"> </a></p> <h2>Publication Charges</h2> <p>Authors of accepted manuscripts will incur publication charges. For original submissions, the publication charge is $450 for up to 8 printed pages. Articles that exceed 8 printed pages will incur a charge of $300 per page in excess of 8. For brief communications, the publication charge is $300. Publication charges are waived for commissioned works, book reviews, and letters to the editor.<a id="IOA" name="IOA"> </a></p> <h3>Immediate Open Access</h3> <p>Manuscripts published in <em>JNM </em>are exclusive to <em>JNM </em>subscribers for 6 months following 铿乶al publication. Immediate Open Access (IOA) is available for a charge of $3,500, which is in place of the standard publication charge. IOA manuscripts are open to all readers starting from Ahead of Print publication, deposited to PubMed Central upon 铿乶al publication with no embargo period, and carry a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY) (<a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a>) allowing sharing and adaptation with attribution.

Do not use hyperbolic terms or phrases in the title, abstract, or body of the text. Qualitative claims as to the superiority (superior, best) or primacy (铿乺st, novel, unique) of an idea or instrument are not acceptable. Do not use numbered or bulleted lists. Any brand-name or trademarked instrument, pharmaceutical, or other product mentioned must be followed by the name of the manufacturer, in parentheses. The use of generic names is preferred to the use of brand names or trademarked names. Original scienti铿乧 and methodology articles are divided into the following sections:</p> <h2>Introduction</h2> <p>This section should be brief and focused. The 铿乶al paragraph should state the hypothesis investigated.</p> <h2>Materials and Methods</h2> <p>Authors have the option of presenting the full version of the Materials and Methods section in the Supplemental Data and a condensed version in the manuscript itself.</p> <p>This section should include statements about Institutional Review Board approval, written informed consent, compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, and animal care committee approval, as appropriate. The standard statement for institutional board approval and consent is the following: “The study has been approved by the institutional review board [or equivalent], and all subjects signed an informed consent form [or the need for written informed consent was waived].” The clinical trial registration number should also be included when appropriate (<a href="http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/">http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/</a>). For any 铿乺st-in-human study of a new radiopharmaceutical, the mean, standard deviation, and range of the administered mass of drug and mean administered activity need to be provided, as well as clinically detectable pharmacologic effects. The checklist and 铿俹w diagram from one of the following evidence-based statements should be followed as appropriate and submitted as supplemental material: STARD (<a href="http://www.stard-statement.org">http://www.stard-statement.org</a>); CONSORT (<a href="http://www.consort-statement.org">http://www.consort-statement.org</a>); PRISMA (<a href="http://www.prisma-statement.org/statement.htm">http://www.prisma-statement.org/statement.htm</a>); REMARK (<a href="http://www.nature.com/nrclinonc/journal/v2/n8/full/ncponc0252.html">http://www.nature.com/nrclinonc/journal/v2/n8/full/ncponc0252.html</a>). The number and selection of subjects must be clearly described, as well as the prospective or retrospective nature of the study. Procedures must be described in enough detail to allow reproducibility by others. The last paragraph should describe the statistical methods.</p> <p>For preclinical articles, the Materials and Methods section should provide the information recommended in <a href="https://doi.org/10.2310/7290.2013.00055">“Guidance for Methods Descriptions Used in Preclinical Imaging Papers” (Stout D, Berr SS, LeBlanc A, et al. <em>Mol Imaging. </em>2013;12[7]:1–15)</a>.</p> <h2>Results</h2> <p>The text of this section should not repeat information presented in the tables and 铿乬ures. When percentages are given, the ratio of numerator to denominator should be in parentheses.</p> <h2>Discussion</h2> <p>This section should summarize any advances in knowledge provided by the results and then discuss their implications in relation to other studies. Limitations and biases of the study must be addressed. The direction of future research may be mentioned.</p> <h2>Conclusion</h2> <p>This section should be brief, should summarize the key points of the paper, and should not introduce new material or references. For articles reporting the development or evaluation of an arti铿乧ial intelligence algorithm, the authors are invited to conclude with a precise claim, as described in <a href="https://doi.org/10.2967/jnumed.121.263239">“Nuclear Medicine and Artificial Intelligence: Best Practices for Evaluation (the RELAINCE Guidelines)” (https://doi.org/10.2967/jnumed.121.263239)</a>.</p> <h2>References</h2> <p>References (not to exceed 60 in an original scienti铿乧 or methodology article, 30 in a brief communication, or 10 in a letter) should be cited in consecutive numeric order at 铿乺st mention in the text and designated by reference number italicized, in red font, and in parentheses. References appearing only in a table or 铿乬ure should be placed at the end of the reference list.</p> <p>If an item of supplemental data has references, they must also be cited in the manuscript (at the location where the manuscript 铿乺st mentions the supplemental item).</p> <p>When listing references, follow the <em>AMA Manual of Style: A Guide for Authors and Editors </em><a href="http://www.amamanualofstyle.com/oso/public/index.html)" target="_blank">(available by subscription at </a><a href="http://www.amamanualofstyle.com/oso/public/index.html)" target="_blank">http://www.amamanualofstyle.com/oso/public/index.html).</a></p> <p>Abbreviate journal names according to the journals database available at PubMed.gov. For journal articles, include the year and volume number in the citation but not the month or issue number. “Unpublished observations” and “personal communications” should not be used as references, although written or oral personal communications may be noted as such in the text. References cited as “in press” must have been accepted for publication and not merely be in preparation or submitted.

Non-SI units may be used after the SI units but should be placed in parentheses. Use becquerels, not curies, as the unit of activity (1 mCi = 37 MBq).</p> <h3>Abbreviations and Symbols</h3> <p>With the exception of units of measurement, <em>JNM </em>strongly discourages the use of abbreviations. Whenever possible, terms should be spelled out in full rather than being abbreviated. Every abbreviation, even those that are well known and in common use, must be de铿乶ed the 铿乺st time it is mentioned in the manuscript; spell out the full term and place the abbreviation, in parentheses, after the full term.</p> <h3>Nomenclature</h3> <p><em>JNM</em> endorses the application of the International Consensus Radiochemistry Nomenclature Guidelines for contributions to the journal. We strongly recommend all manuscripts meet these submission guidelines, and all reviewers check that the guidelines are followed.</p> <p>The full article with the recommendations is published in <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0969805117303189">“Consensus nomenclature rules for radiopharmaceutical chemistry — setting the record straight”, Coenen and Gee et al., Nuclear Medicine and Biology</a>.<a id="tables-figures" name="tables-figures"> </a></p> <h2>Tables</h2> <p>Place tables at the end of the manuscript 铿乴e; do not submit them as separate 铿乴es. Do not submit tables as images. Tabbed or space-separated table text is not allowed; tables should be created in Microsoft Word table format or a similar format. The number of tables is limited to 7, except in the case of dosimetry articles, which may exceed that number in lieu of 铿乬ures. The 铿乶al typeset table must 铿乼 on a single page.</p> <p>Tables should be self-explanatory and should supplement, not duplicate, the text. Each table must be cited in consecutive numeric order in the text. Number the tables consecutively with an Arabic numeral after the word “TABLE.” Titles should be descriptive and brief. Horizontal rules should be placed below the title and column headings and at the end of the table. Do not use vertical rules. Give each column a brief heading.</p> <p>Place explanatory matter in footnotes, not in the title. Use the following symbols in this sequence: *, †, ‡, §, 莵, ¶, #, **. In a footnote, de铿乶e all abbreviations in the order in which they appear in the table and identify statistical measures of variations, such as standard deviation and standard error of the mean. If data from another published source are used, obtain written permission from the publisher, cite the original source in the references, and include the following credit line in a footnote: “Reprinted with permission of Ref X.” If data from an unpublished source are used, obtain permission from the principal investigator and acknowledge fully.</p> <h2>Figures</h2> <p>Figures should clarify and augment the text and should be embedded (with their legends) within the text as well as uploaded as separate 铿乴es. Because imaging is a major aspect of nuclear medicine, the selection of sharp, high-quality 铿乬ures is of paramount importance. The author will be required to correct or replace 铿乬ures of inferior quality. Each submitted 铿乬ure should clearly identify areas of interest with only enough surrounding area for orientation.</p> <h2>Production requirements</h2> <p>The number of 铿乬ures submitted should not be excessive for the length of the manuscript and in no case should exceed 7. These 7 铿乬ures may consist of up to 14 separate parts. No more than 4 parts per 铿乬ure is preferred. Each 铿乬ure must be numbered and cited in consecutive numeric order in the text.</p> <!-- start revised 01/19/2024 --> <p>If possible, the 铿乬ures submitted should be the size in which they will appear when published so that no reduction is necessary. Figures should be either single-column format (published width, 8.5 cm; maximum submitted width, 11 cm), mid-size format (published width, 11.4 cm; maximum submitted width, 14 cm), or double-column format (published width, 17.4 cm; maximum submitted width, 22 cm). Acceptable resolution is 300 dpi. Acceptable fonts and sizes are Arial (7–12 pt) and Roboto (6–11 pt).</p> <p>Composite 铿乬ures should be preassembled with each 铿乬ure part (e.g., A, B, C) lettered in 12-point Helvetica type in the upper left corner. Letter labels should clarify each part and should not be used when parts are already clearly labeled.</p> <!-- end revised 01/19/2024 --> <p><strong>Example of single column figure:</strong></p> <p><img src="/sites/default/files/additional-assets/Figure-single.png" style="border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; width: 265px; height: 300px;" /></p> <p><strong>Example of mid-size 1.5 column figure:</strong></p> <p><img src="/sites/default/files/additional-assets/Figure-mid-size.png" style="border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; width: 365px; height: 543px;" /></p> <p><strong>Example of double column figure:</strong></p> <p><img src="/sites/default/files/additional-assets/Figure-double.png" style="border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; width: 520px; height: 364px;" /></p> <p>Internet graphics are not acceptable under most circumstances because resolution of online images is much lower than satisfactory print requirement. The 铿乴e format must be .png, .tiff, .eps, .jpg, .pptx, or .pdf. Each 铿乬ure, including those in .pptx and .pdf formats, must be submitted as a separate 铿乴e. Each 铿乬ure must also be included in the manuscript 铿乴e before its respective legend. Crop and size digital 铿乬ures to match 铿乬ure speci铿乧ations and to minimize total 铿乴e size. For .jpg 铿乴es, image quality should be set to high (at least 9 or 90%). For .tif and .png files, images should be flattened to white backgrounds with LZW lossless compression applied; no transparency.</p> <p>Videos cannot be submitted as figures but can be published as supplemental data online. Refer to Supplemental Data for details.</p> <h3>Figure Legends</h3> <p>Legends for 铿乬ures should be concise and should not repeat the text. Number the legends with an Arabic numeral after the word “FIGURE.” If a 铿乬ure has more than one part, describe each part clearly. Any letter designations or arrows appearing on the 铿乬ures should be identi铿乪d and described fully. Abbreviations used in each 铿乬ure should be de铿乶ed in the legend in alphabetical order.</p> <p>In addition to being submitted as a separate 铿乴e, each 铿乬ure should be inserted before its respective legend in the 铿乬ure legends section of the manuscript 铿乴e.</p> <p>Original (not previously published) 铿乬ures are preferred for publication in <em>JNM</em>; however, if 铿乬ures have been published previously in non-SNMMI publications, authors are responsible for obtaining written permission from the publisher to reprint. The source of the original material must be cited in the references and the following credit line in parentheses included in the legend: “Reprinted with permission of Ref. X.” All permission letters should be submitted online at the time of manuscript submission.<a id="AQARA" name="AQARA"> </a></p> <h3>AQARA Requirements for Radionuclide-Based Images</h3> <p>To best convey the quantitative information in nuclear images and to standardize their display, all PET, SPECT and planar nuclear images submitted for publication must provide “as much quantitative information as reasonably achievable” (AQARA) as described in the summary table below. <strong>A full description of the requirements is available here: </strong><a href="https://jnm.snmjournals.org/AQARA"><strong>AQARA Requirements</strong></a></p> <table style="width:600px;border-collapse:collapse;border:none"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width:200px;border-top:1.5pt;border-left: 1.0pt;border-bottom:1.5pt;border-right:1.0pt;border-color:black;border-style: solid;padding-left:5px;padding-right:5px;

Other data that are integral to the manuscript can be submitted for online-only publication as supplemental data. The data may include images with legends, large-scale tabulations, videos, appendices, and glossaries. Authors have the option of presenting the full version of the Materials and Methods section in the supplemental data and a condensed version in the manuscript itself. However, supplemental Results and Discussion are not permitted. Each item of supplemental data should be given a brief descriptive title and should be directly referred to in the manuscript (e.g., Supplemental Table 1). If a supplemental item has references, they must also be cited in the manuscript (at the location where the manuscript 铿乺st mentions the supplemental item). Because supplemental data 铿乴es are placed online unedited, as submitted by the author, the uploaded 铿乴es need to be 铿乶al and ready for publication.

For example <a href="http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/">www.clinicaltrials.gov</a> or any of the primary registries that participate in the <a href="https://www.who.int/clinical-trials-registry-platform">WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform</a>.</p> <p>The trial registration number (TRN) and date of registration should be included as the last line of the manuscript abstract.</p> <p>For clinical trials that have not been registered prospectively, authors are encouraged to register retrospectively to ensure the complete publication of all results. The trial registration number (TRN), date of registration and the words 'retrospectively registered’ should be included as the last line of the manuscript abstract.</p> <h3><strong>Checklists and reporting guidelines</strong></h3> <p>JNM advocates transparent reporting of biomedical and biological research and research with biological applications.
