The Egyptian Journal of Nuclear Medicine (EJNM) is the official Journal of the Egyptian Society of Nuclear Medicine Specialists (ESNMS).

EJNM is open access online journal with printed versions available as well.

It is currently being issued on bi-annual basis with the aim to increase the frequency to quarterly or even monthly basis.

The aim of EJNM is to provide a forum for the exchange of clinical and scientific information for the nuclear medicine community and related professions involved in the functional and metabolic investigation of different diseases either in Egypt or international.
