Statement of Needs

Advances in Nuclear Medicine have been occurring at a rapid pace. The areas that have been particularly affected are hybrid imaging with both PET/CT and SPECT/CT as well as radionuclide therapy. The ability to fuse physiological and anatomic information with hybrid imaging has greatly enhanced the information available for patient management. The addition of newer therapeutic interventions has provided additional choices for managing several oncological areas, as well. These important advances have mandated the need for Nuclear Medicine Physicians, Radiologists, Oncologists & Technologists to expand their knowledge of this rapidly evolving technology
