Nuclear medicine conference will bring over 5,000 delegates to the ICC Birmingham
The ICC will welcome over 5,000 delegates to Birmingham when the Annual Congress of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) 2011 gets underway this week (15th-19th October).Nuclear medicine professionals - including international physicians, radiologists, medical physicists, technologists, and radio pharmacists - will attend the conference which has been organised by EANM and the British Nuclear Medicine Society. During the congress, many international experts will present the latest developments in the science and clinical practice of nuclear medicine and will see the largest exhibition of nuclear medicine equipment in Europe.
The EANM was founded in 1985 and is the European organization that combines all national societies for nuclear medicine in Europe. It aims to advance science and education in nuclear medicine for the benefit of public health.
Prof. Alan Perkins, on behalf of the Local Organizing Committee of EANM, said, “Nuclear Medicine is the single most beneficial use of radioactive materials for the benefit of human kind. This is the single largest meeting concerning nuclear medicine held in Europe. The ICC was chosen as the venue because it is a state-of-the-art facility and the ICC team were influential in helping with the bid to secure the meeting. Location, infrastructure and travel connections were also an advantage and the city of Birmingham is an excellent backdrop for the congress, being the birthplace of the industrial revolution and steeped in the history of science and engineering.”
