DISCUSSION FORUM

Welcome to the discussion forum page of the APSNC website!

We welcome your comments, questions and opinions as members of the APSNC.

In order to start the discussion going, here are some issues for which we seek our member’s opinions:

Nuclear Cardiology in your country:

What is the state of nuclear cardiology in your centre/city/country? Is it well-established or beginning to become accepted? Is it available in most hospitals? Which procedures are most popular?

What are the problems facing the development of nuclear cardiology in your centre/city? What obstacles are there to be overcome? How can the APSNC help you? Email us with your ideas and opinions.

Write to us with your opinions about the APSNC:

How do you see the APSNC as helping nuclear cardiology develop in our part of the world? What can we do collectively to improve the quality of nuclear cardiac studies and help the field grow?

As can be seen from the calendar of events, the APSNC hopes to hold regular meetings/workshops in nuclear cardiology in conjunction with major meetings in the region. Thus meetings have been planned in conjunction with the Asian-Pacific Congress of Cardiology in Manila this year and Singapore in 2003, as well as the ASEAN Congress of Cardiology in Malaysia next year. Is this a helpful approach to creating interest and discussion about nuclear cardiology? Write in with your ideas and opinions.

A case presentation page has been set up on the website to stimulate interest and discussion. You may or may not agree fully with the answers provided. Please feel free to write in with your opinion and questions!

This website was established in the hope that it would serve as an instant link between the members of the APSNC. Please let us have your feedback on the website and any suggestions to improve it!

Yours sincerely,
Terrance Chua, Secretary, APSNC
