SNMMI Clinical Trial Network Research Series for Technologists: Application of Good Clinical Practice to Clinical Research in Medical Imaging

Abstract

CE credit: For CE credit, you can access the test for this article, as well as additional JNMT CE tests, online at https://www.snmmilearningcenter.org. Complete the test online no later than March 2026. Your online test will be scored immediately. You may make 3 attempts to pass the test and must answer 80% of the questions correctly to receive 1.0 CEH (Continuing Education Hour) credit. SNMMI members will have their CEH credit added to their VOICE transcript automatically; nonmembers will be able to print out a CE certificate upon successfully completing the test. The online test is free to SNMMI members; nonmembers must pay $15.00 by credit card when logging onto the website to take the test.This article is part of a series developed by the Clinical Trials Network of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging to offer training and information for molecular imaging technologists and researchers about various aspects of clinical research. This article covers the topic of good clinical practice and how that relates to those portions of the Code of Federal Regulations that govern clinical research in the United States, such as title 21, part 312, and the Common Rule. The purpose of this article is to inform technologists and researchers about standard roles, documents, guidance, and processes that are elemental to the conduct of clinical trials and to offer additional resources for learning about these processes.
