Abstract

Introduction

The Annual Congress of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine took place in Copenhagen on October 13–17, 2007. The event is the major scientific and professional effort in the field of nuclear medicine in Europe. The most important developments in the fields of instrumentation, radionuclide production, radiochemistry, radiotherapy, as well as the clinical imaging fields of neurology, cardiology, oncology, and general sciences were reported.

Objective

This paper emphasizes the major findings and trends at this important gathering. This review is, however, only a brief summary of the large amount of data discussed.
