  1. Multipartite“College Nuclear Medicine”(Founded in October 2004) Wednesday 24/11/2004 • A) General aim: • “Role of Nuclear Medicine (Molecular) Imaging in • Evidence Based Medicine” • B) Specific targets: • Quality assurance • Technical (FANC) • Clinical • Clinical integration • Radioprotection • PET • Therapy • Education • Structure of “working groups”

  2. Members of the College Dr Jean-Paul Léonard Dr Luc Mortelmans Dr Stanislas Pauwels Dr Luc Kiebooms

  3. NUCLEAR IMAGING in EVIDENCE BASED MEDICINE Guidelines – Standardisation – Quality Ass. (technical) Evidence based medicine (clinical) Clinical pathways Care programmes Cost-benefit

  4. Why working groups • Aim: bringing people together with: • The same interest • Experience or young enthousiasm • Focussed topic • Focussed time frame • Communicate with the “nuclear community”, “clinicians” and “radiologists”.

  5. Quality control and quality assurances • Guidelines: Standardisation • Technical (how to do) • Clinical (when to do) • Data collection • Litterature – CEBAM • Experience • Clinical database • Peer review • Visitation • ISO certification • Workgroup • 2 centers already recognised

  6. Clinical guidelines! (2005) “Interaction of working groups” with “clinicians” • Each group defines its own clinical indications. • Discussions with clinicians via “colleges”.

  7. PET • Clinical guidelines (cfr. report L. Mortelmans PET onco group) • PET databank (started 01/09/2003) • Clinical PET research in Belgium • Reimbursement: FDG Hospital fee PET center • Belgian strategy PET Centers

  8. “Radionuclide therapy” • Actual applications: • Iodide • Pain palliation • MIBG • … • New applications: • Peptides • Monoclonal antibodies • …

  9. Education in Nuclear Medicine • Medical students • Residents in training: interuniversity course • Postgraduate courses • Training technologists • Education in medical physics and radiopharmacy • Belgian Society of Nuclear Medicine • 4 meetings per year • Bi-annual congress • Dedicated meetings
