SUMMARY:Nuclear Research in medicine after the Second World War

DESCRIPTION:How has nuclear medicine developed as a scientific field in Aus
 tria and worldwide? Which role did interdisciplinary and international coo
 peration play?\n\nThe Division of Nuclear Medicine cordially invites you t
 o a two-day conference\, organized in collaboration with the Austrian Acad
 emy of Sciences (ÖAW)\, the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nurem
 berg (FAU)\, and the Austrian Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Im
 aging (OGNMB).\n\nPlease finde more infos here.\n\nOrganizers: Johannes Ma
 ttes (ÖAW) | Cécile Philippe (MedUni Vienna) | Maria Rentetzi (FAU)\n\nN
 uclear research in medicine relies on a high degree of interaction. While 
 the production of radioisotopes and the development of medical devices are
  carried out by physicists and engineers\, chemists and pharmacists take o
 ver the syntheses of radiopharmaceuticals\, while physicians focus on thei
 r application. In the absence of handbooks\, industrially available device
 s\, and radioisotopes\, early specialists were also dependent on multilate
 ral exchanges. These were fostered by post-war agreements for the peaceful
  use of atomic energy and international organizations such as the IAEA and
  WHO.\n\nThus\, the formation of nuclear medicine as discipline was the re
 sult of a global balancing and standardization process during the Cold War
  era. Its origins are traced in the first broad clinical applications of r
 adioisotopes primarily in the United States and the United Kingdom just be
 fore the Second World War and continued with the worldwide dissemination o
 f relevant knowledge and techniques that were mainly triggered by the Unit
 ed Nations international organizations. Nevertheless\, in many countries\,
  nuclear medicine did not get recognized as a medical specialty with separ
 ate residency training until the 1990s.\n\nThis symposium focuses on the e
 mergence of nuclear medicine as an outcome of scientific collaboration and
  competition\, boundary and interdisciplinary work\, and encounters betwee
 n various (inter)national stakeholders\, as well as political\, diplomatic
 \, and scientific institutions. Contributions by eminent scholars from Can
 ada\, Europe and East Asia will explore the scientific\, political\, diplo
 matic and social dimensions of these interactions\, the knowledge\, resour
 ces and policies involved.\n\nPlease register here.\n\nSee the full progra
