of radiopharmaceuticals and contrast media will be presented.
Also the topics pharmacovigilance and drug-drug interaction will be
handled.
The pharmacological class of contrast media and of
radiopharmaceuticals from the point of view of clinical uses,
tolerability and proper handling by the operators will be
presented.
All the topics will be accompanied by the news coming from the
scientific literature.
