               ***** PRELIMINARY NOTICE  OF MEETING *****

     DIGITAL NETWORKS AND COMMUNICATIONS IN NUCLEAR MEDICINE

Location: The Mitchener Institute, 222 St Patrick St, Toronto,
          Ontario, Canada

Dates:    Friday 4th June and Saturday 5th June, 1993 (immediately
          prior to the Society of Nuclear Medicine 40th Annual
          Meeting)  [NB: The SNM meeting starts with Categorical
          Seminars on Monday, 7th June.  Committee meetings are
          scheduled for Sunday, 6th June]

Description:   This two-day seminar will cover the problems and
               costs associated with the introduction of PACS and
               networks to nuclear medicine departments.  The
               lecturers will be individuals who have had recent
               experience in this area in both nuclear medicine
               departments and other associated hospital
               departments.  The course will be of particular
               interest to physicists, computer engineers and
               technologists who will be participating in the
               introduction of networking to their department.
               Emphasis will be placed upon practical solutions to
               outstanding problems rather than academic
               discussion of the subject matter.  Engineering
               staff from major nuclear medicine computer vendors
               will be encouraged to be present in order to
               facilitate direct communication between users and
               designers.  Time will be allotted to breakout
               sessions devoted to specific topics.

Objectives:    On completion of this course the attendee should
               have a good grounding in the fundamental principles
               of computer networks.  He/she should be able to
               define their department's needs and outline
               possible cost effective solutions.  He/she should
               be able to discuss those needs with industry
               representatives so that a suitable pathway to
               successful installation of a network can be
               established.  The attendee should be able to
               recognize the sources of possible problems and know
               where to find solutions to outstanding questions.
