NEO Faculty Attend World Congress Meeting      

The World Federation of Nuclear Medicine & Biology (WFNMB) was founded in Mexico City by a group of visionaries with the main task of promoting the development and good practice of Nuclear Medicine and Biology.  The first World Congress meeting was held in Japan in 1974 and convenes every four years in a different country.  In 2002 physicians, pharmacists, technologists and researchers from around the world met in beautiful Santiago, Chile for the 8th World Congress meeting.

Martha Pickett, CNMT presented "Brain SPECT. Perfusion and Tumor Imaging" and Nicki Hilliard, PharmD, BCNP presented "New and Future Radiopharmaceuticals for Diagnosis" and "Quality Control of New Radiopharmaceuticals".  The poster session included the NEO review "Providing Nuclear Pharmacy Education via the Internet". 

The World Congress is an excellent opportunity to meet with leaders in the nuclear medicine from around the globe.  It is also a chance to soak up the culture and beauty of another country.  The 9th World Congress of the World Federation of Nuclear Medicine and Biology will meet in Seoul, South Korea in 2006.
