Nuclear Pharmacy e-Community Launched
-
APhA
recently created an internet-based forum or "e-Community" for
nuclear pharmacy. You are able to network with other
members across the country, share ideas and opinions, and
problem-solve.
Accessing the nuclear e-Community is easy!
Just login at
www.pharmacist.com with your username and password and then
click "e-Communities" in the right text box. Once you have read
and agreed with the "Terms of Use," just click on the nuclear
e-Community and get started. This service is only available to
APhA members, so this is just another good reason to join APhA
(and the APhA-APPM Section on Nuclear Pharmacy Practice).
- Make Plans to Attend APhA
Meeting
- There are many activities
scheduled for nuclear pharmacists at the APhA Meeting in San
Francisco March 17-21. Over 200 nuclear pharmacists
typically attend the meeting with great opportunities for CE
and networking. It is not too late to register!

New Payment Caps on Imaging
Services
A provision of the federal Deficit Reduction Act will set limits
on reimbursement from Medicare for physician’s offices with
imaging equipment. The bill will limit the technical, rather
than the professional or interpretation, component. These
changes are set to begin 2007 and are opposed by the SNM.

Brachytherapy, arising from the Greek word
brachys for brief or short, refers to
electromagnetic radiation delivered via the
insertion of radioactive materials a short distance
from, or within, the tumor. Prostate cancer
patients with a high probability of organ-confined
disease may be appropriately treated with
brachytherapy alone. Isotopes used for
prostate cancer treatment include Iodine-125,
Palladium-103 and Iridium-192. Brachytherapy is also
used to treat other cancers, including cancers of
the eye, lung, breast, mouth, cervix and skin.
