(Uses of iridium 191 from the osmium 191/iridium 191 generator system)
The traveler was an invited speaker at the 30th Commemorative Meeting of the Finnish Society of Nuclear Medicine on March 2--3 in Helsinki, Finland. He described the development, initial clinical applications, and future use of iridium-191m from the osmium-191/-iridium-191m generator system developed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). He also visited the university hospitals in Kupio and Turku, Finland, and presented seminars on the use of iridium-191m and iodine-123-labeled fatty acids for cardiac studies. He visited the Clinic for Nuclear Medicine in Bonn, West Germany, and the Cyclotron Research Center (CRC) in Liege, Belgium, to coordinate collaborative projects on research and clinical applications of various radiopharmaceuticals.
