CCSNM 2007 Fall Educational Symposium to Be Held in Columbus, Ohio
After two very successful Fall Educational Symposiums, the CCSNM Board
of Governors has authorized additional Fall meetings for 2007 and 2008.
The 2007 Fall Educational Symposium will be held Oct. 13-14, 2007 at The Columbus, a Renaissance Hotel in Columbus, Ohio. Mary A. Morgan, MS, CNMT, Program Coordinator, Nuclear Medicine Technology, Columbus State Community College in Columbus and Christopher Mitchell, CRA, CNMT, Manager, Medical Imaging, at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton have volunteered to chair the program along with a nuclear medicine physician, yet to be named. The preliminary title for the program is “Multi-modality Imaging: Nuclear Medicine Progresses and Opens the Door to CT.”
As nuclear medicine transitions into molecular imaging and technology creates more useful tools for diagnosis and treatment, it is necessary for practitioners to step out of their comfort zone and forge into unfamiliar territories of multi-modality imaging. Although a bit overwhelming at times, and certainly imposing new challenges for all professionals in the field, multi-modality imaging needs to be revisited from a novice perspective: the images are great, but the theory has been left behind.
The 2007 Annual Fall Meeting seeks to provide insight into the basics of multi-modality imaging, while not forgetting where we came from and including some purebred nuclear medicine theories. This program will not only provide a starting point for the fusion of nuclear medicine with CT, but it will also allow us to enjoy our glory as the premier provider of functional data—and fusing anatomy is the future.
