Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : |
Our colleagues will follow the new ways for further collaboration and also we were often volunteers for holding the great meeting in the field of our specialty. For instance, the head of ISNM from Iran was elected as the 10th President of the Asia Oseania Federation at the 9th AOFNMB Governing Council meeting which was held during the 9th Congress and consequently the tenth congress was held in Tehran, Iran in May 16-20, 2012. Organizers were President Dr. Mohsen Saghari, Vice President and Chair of the scientific committee Dr. Mohammad Eftekhari, and Chair of organizing Comittee, Me (Dr. Babak Fallahi). The theme was ‘Nuclear Medicine All Over The World’. The total number of participants was 1027 from 36 countries, 382 papers were presented and the congress was very successful. However, we have a far way to go to achieve better communications and sharing of knowledge and experiences among the researchers and academic members, better education and training, and promotion of nuclear medicine practice in the world especially in our country. |

Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : |
The WFNMB organizes a quadrennial Congress, the third largest nuclear medicine meeting world-wide. The current WFNMB Congress was held in Cancun, Mexico, and received more than 1000 attendees. The diversity of participating countries (85 countries) and participation of scientists and experts in the field of nuclear medicine was given a good credibility to the Congress. In addition, several scientific programs at the meeting were presented such as Plenary Sessions, Symposia, Continuing Medical Educations, Categorical Seminars, and World Summits
Congress committees put great effort into providing us with state-of-the-art Continuous Medical Education sessions, enhanced by interactive sessions. There was a long list of guest speakers who had lecture in the multidisciplinary joint symposia where the committees provided an insight into the collaborations they have established outside of nuclear medicine. The latest achievements in clinical nuclear medicine, science and technology presented and discussed during oral and poster sessions. In addition, several scientific programs at the meeting were presented such as Plenary Sessions, Symposia, Continuing Medical Educations, Categorical Seminars, and World Summits. At the end of the meeting, the tradition of summarizing the meeting highlights in order to provide us with a broad overview of the science presented at the congress. The next global participation and interaction will be in Australia, 2018. |
