Clinical Nuclear Medicine 2010:
This symposium will focus on the latest trends in Nuclear Medicine. State of the art imaging protocols along with advances in clinical diagnosis and patient management will be the focus of this meeting. An open forum discussion addressing the current Tc-99m shortage and potential short and long term solutions will round out the clinical lectures. Faculty will discuss current and future directions in cardiology, neurology, oncology, genitourinary and gastrointestinal imaging.

Attendees should, at the completion of these courses, be able to:
