The expense of developing and maintaining special computer software and interfaces has been prohibitive to many clinical installations desiring to perform computer-assisted radionuclide and other biomedical studies. Also, existing developmental groups have been economically unable to adequately transfer their work to such smaller installations. In response to this need and through the efforts of the Society of Nuclear Medicine Computer Committee, the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA) has established the Biomdical Computing Technology Information Center (BCTIC) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). BCTIC collects, organizes, evaluates, and disseminates information on computing technology pertinent to biomedicine in general and nuclear medicine in particular, providing the needed routes of communication between installations, and serving as a clearinghouse for the exchange of biomedical computing software, data, and interface designs. BCTIC services are available to its sponsors and their contractors and to any individual/group willing to participate in mutual exchange.
