Nuclear medicine is a fast growing and dynamic specialty. In recent years with the advent and wide-spread use of PET, PET-CT, SPECT-CT and newer applications in radionuclide therapy, there has been a need for continuous appraisal and updating of nuclear medicine professionals on various aspects of the changing trends in the specialty. Although nuclear medicine is being practiced in most countries of the world, due to heterogeneous growth of the specialty there has been significant differences in the quality of practice between countries. For better comprehension and uniform standards of application in day to day clinical practice, nuclear medicine physicians and allied professionals from both developed and developing countries of the world need to interact in order to update their knowledge and gain wider exposure through more intensive theoretical and practical training in the field of nuclear medicine. Singapore in general and Singapore General Hospital in particular have excellent infrastructure in nuclear medicine with state of the art equipment, expertise and infrastructure for teaching and training. As a part of its global outreach philosophy, the Singapore General Hospital in collaboration with World Federation of Nuclear Medicine & Biology (WFNMB), World Association of Radiopharmaceutical and Molecular Therapy (WARMTH) and Society of Nuclear Medicine Singapore (SNMS) will be organizing a “4 Day Update in Nuclear Medicine” from 2-5 March 2011 with a view to enhance awareness about the current trends in nuclear medicine among the nuclear medicine physicians and Allied Professionals from around the world in general and from the developing countries in particular.

This will be the 4th Update organized by the Department of Nuclear Medicine & PET of Singapore General Hospital. The SGH-Nuclear Medicine Updates held in 1008, 2009 and 2010 were highly successful attended by hundreds of participants from around the world. Over 400 participants from 42 countries attended the SGH NM Update 2010, which was organised in the last week of February 2010 in conjunction with the 9th Annual Scientific Meeting of Singapore Radiological Society. We expect to have a large number of participants representing a much wider global population at the 4th SGH-Nuclear Medicine Update scheduled to be held at SGH from 2-5 March 2011.

The organizing Committee will make all efforts to provide free or subsidized registration and/or complimentary/ subsidized accommodation to deserving participants from developing countries. Besides plenary lectures from world-renowned experts in the field of nuclear medicine, there will also be scientific sessions for presentations of proffered papers and display of posters. Participants are encouraged to visit our website (www.sgh-nmu.org) to register on line and submit abstracts.

In Collaboration with:		World Association of Radiopharmaceutical and Molecular Therapy(WARMTH)
