Accelerator based diagnosis and therapy

Preliminary program

Medical use of accelerators in Norway

(Oslo, Friday 5.9)

During the period 20.8 - 15.9 the CERN Exhibition "Hadrons for Health" will visit the University of Oslo.

As a part of the exhibition there will be held open presentations Friday 5.9 in the morning. The planned Norwegian activity within diagnosis, treatment and medical research based on accelerator produced radionuclides will be discussed. In particular it will be focused on isotope production for PET and of radio-nuclides for diagnosis and therapy.

Friday 5.9 :

09:00-09:30 Introduction - Ø.Bruland (medical), A.Skretting (technology), S.Messelt (accelerators)
09:30-10:00 Applications of PET in Oncology - Magne Aas
