Purpose Statement
Nuclear medicine and molecular imaging have been utilized for over sixty years in approximately 350 million procedures throughout the United States. As radiopharmaceuticals, administering equipment, imaging tools and procedures evolve, it is necessary to educate physicians and technologists as to the best practices within this specialty. The goal of the Mid-Eastern Chapter of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging is to enhance patient care and facilitate medical research in the use of medical radionuclides. For the past forty seven years, the Chapter has met every Spring to present nuclear medicine’s latest and most impactful advances, controversies and procedures. Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Essentials was designed to bring the benefit of this meeting to the distance learning audience. Fifteen faculty members discuss a wide range of topics demonstrating the specialty’s impact on imaging, cardiology, oncology, neurology and much more. Overall enhancements to the practice will be analyzed as well. This activity will allow nuclear medicine physicians and technologists to stay current with this constantly developing medical discipline
