RADAR - News, Current Events, and Links Upcoming meetings of potential interest: The Centro Regional de Ciências Nucleares do Nordeste (CRCN-NE/CNEN), is promoting the 1st Symposium on Internal Dosimetry applied to Nuclear Medicine (DOSIMN 2008) which will occur at the CRCN-NE facilities, Recife, PE, Brazil, from April 08 through April 11, 2008. Due mostly to the increasing use of radiopharmaceuticals in therapeutic applications, this first event has as the central theme "Therapy with radionuclides: dosimetric aspects" and will focus on methodologies for planning in therapeutic nuclear medicine; optimizing therapies through patient-specific dose calculations; and promotion of study and research in internal dosimetry applied to nuclear medicine in Brazil. DOSIMN 2008 will bring speakers from other countries (United States and Italy) to share their experience in this important area with various influential speakers from various Brazilian states. Past Meetings The 1st International Symposium on Radionuclide Therapy and Dosimetry was held in conjunction with the annual EANM congress in Helsinki, Finland, September 04 - 08, 2004. The format of the meeting has evolved from a series of seven interesting and important Radiopharmaceutical and dosimetry symposia held approximately every 5 years since 1970, with distribution of published proceedings. The last meeting (“7th International Radiopharmaceutical Dosimetry Symposium”) was held in Nashville, TN, USA in 2002. As a separate track within the EANM congress this symposium brought together all disciplines concerned with Radiopharmaceutical Dosimetry and Radionuclide Therapy discussion. Proceedings are currently being published in Cancer Biotherapy and Radiopharmaceuticals. The Seventh International Radiopharmaceutical Dosimetry Symposium was held in Nashville, TN, USA, April 17-19, 2002. Six of these interesting and important meetings have been held previously, approximately every 5 years since 1970, with distribution of published proceedings which have enjoyed wide use and citation in the literature. Most previous meetings were held in Oak Ridge, TN, and were organized by the Radiation Internal Dose Information Center. Despite the decline in funding and staffing for this center, it was decided that this important symposium series should continue. Due in large part to recent increases in the use of radiopharmaceuticals in therapeutic applications, interest in the international community in this subject area has been such that the series will not only continue, but will increase in frequency. The plan now is for the symposium to be held approximately every 2 years, alternating between a US and European site.
