INTENSIVE LEARNING OPPORTUNITIESFOR ALL NUCLEAR SPECIALISTS

Washington, D.C., will be the backdrop ofour thirty-third Annual Meeting.The meeting includes four days of intensive learning opportunititesinterspersed with exciting social events. Sites that are uniquely Washington,D.C., will house our get-togethers.

With our commitment to offering only the very best educational resourcesavailable in nuclear medicine, we feel that this meeting will be our finest todate.

SCIENTIFIC PAPERS

This year's presentation ofover 600 scientific papers includes a distillationof the latest advancements and finest work achieved by outstanding scientistsand physicians in the field of nuclear medicine. These papers, presented bythe original authors, with over 30 subjects to choose from, will provide a uniqueopportunity for enhancing your knowledge or exploring new avenues incorrelative areas of nuclear medicine. Ample time is allotted at thesepresentations for questions and discussions.

An extensive display of scientific posters and exhibits will augment thepresentations.

CONTINUING EDUCATION COURSESRefresher and state-of-the-art continuing education courses in chemistry,

physics, quality assurance, cardiovascular nuclear medicine, PET, SPECT,and NMR will supply up-to-the-minute approaches and procedures for allclinical settings.

TECHNOLOGIST PROGRAM

The ever-increasing importance of the role of the nuclear medicinetechnologist will be explored in our Technologist Program, and over 70 hoursof clinical updates wil provide chief and staff technologists with the latest inbasic, intermediate, and advanced studies. This program will broadenexpertise and enhance the technologist's contributions to nuclear medicine.

EXPOSITION

More than 1,800 exhibitors from over 90 pharmaceutical and equipmentmanufacturers will display their latest products in a lively atmosphere. Theseknowledgeable commercial representatives offer the technical depth our fielddemands, and they are valuable sources oftimely and pertinent information.

AUDIOVISUALS, BOOKS, JOURNALS

The Society of Nuclear Medicine is continually adding to its library ofaudiovisuals, books, and other publications. A stop at the publications boothis well worth the time. Here you will find on display what the society hasto offer for year-round educational advancement.

Chromatography ofTechnetium-99mRadiopharmaceuticals

A Practical GuideBy Philip J•Robbins

To provide up-to-date information about the most

accurateproceduresfor ensuringqualitycontrolof radiopharmaceuticals, The Society of NuclearMedicine has published Chromatography of Technetium-99m Radiopharmaceuticals—A PracticalGuide.

This importantmanualoffersreaders a collection of miniaturized chromatographic methods forthe rapidand precisedeterminationof the radiochemical purity of commonly used Tc-99mradiopharmaceuticals.

Topicscoveredincludethe natureand sourceof impurities,principlesandclassictechniquesofchromatography, methods for counting miniaturechromatographic strips, and pitfalls of miniature

methods and how to avoid them. Also containedherein is a listing of each radiopharmaceutical withthe USPcriteriafor tadiochemicalpurity,typicalscans of impure products, and standardsand interlaboratory comparisons for miniaturized systems.

Preparedto aid nuclearmedicinepersonnelin implementing voluntary quality-assurance programs, the material may also be used as a trainingresource for individuals preparing for professionallicensure and certification.
