The American Nuclear Society’s Biology and Medicine and the Isotope and Radiation Divisions co-sponsored the embedded topical meeting on “Isotopes for Medicine and Industry” being held June 9-11, 2008 in Anaheim, California. The MURR Center facilitated this embedded topical meeting as part of the American Nuclear Society’s 2008 Annual Meeting (June 8-12, 2008). The topical meeting provided a forum for discussions on the continuing rapid growth of radioisotopes for medical diagnostics and therapeutics, industrial, environmental, and power applications. Inherent to this topical meeting will be discussions of associated production and supply issues, as well as manpower education and training needs. The technical tracks were: Track 1: Applications in Nuclear Medicine—Diagnostics Track 2: Reactor Production of Medical Isotopes Track 3: Isotopes in Environmental, Industrial, and Nuclear Power Applications Track 4: Applications in Nuclear Medicine—Therapeutics Track 5: Reactor Production of Research and Industrial Isotopes Track 6: Cyclotron Production of Biomedical Tracers Track 7: Radiochemistry Track 8: High Energy Accelerator / Cyclotron Production of Isotopes Track 9: Distribution and Transportation Issues Track 10: Production and Applications of Alpha Emitters Track 11: R&D and Standards Needs for Future Applications in Industry Track 12: Manpower and Education Click here for more information about the Annual Meeting.
