Nuclear Medicine in Genitourinary System Workshop
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Workshop Committee, it is my pleasure to invite you to our workshop, ” Nuclear medicine in genitourinary system” on Nov 30th ,2024 at Jumairah hotel, Messilah 1 Hall. The objective of this one-day workshop is to chart a path forward to functional renal imaging. We plan to cover the state of art in nuclear renal imaging and learn from other fields. Toward future clinical use, we will also hear about FDA qualification of imaging biomarkers and other translational challenges. As well as artificial intelligence (AI) applied in Nuclear medicine.
The aim from this workshop is:
-
To refresh knowledge of renal physiology and how it relates to renogram imaging.
-
To learn about high quality renogram images in a range of clinical scenarios and special populations such as paediatrics and renal transplant.
-
To educate the audience about non imaging renal studies (GFR) used to monitor therapy response.
-
To evaluate and enhance the knowledge of PET potentials in renal, bladder and prostate malignancies.
By attending this workshop, you will gain a deeper understanding of Technetium-99m renal tracers as well as positron emission Tomography (PET) studies and you will be able to apply this knowledge to your clinical practice.
This workshop is providing two interactive sessions presented by international speakers to enhance the audience understanding and awareness of possible pitfalls.
Best regards,
