Schneider Children's Medical Center Israel
SNMMI 2018
Pediatric nuclear medicine is different to general nuclear medicine. Specialized expertise and techniques are needed in imaging children and in interpreting their scans. Dr. Bar-Sever, Director of Nuclear Medicine Institute, Schneider Children’s Medical Center of Israel and President of the Israeli Society for Nuclear Medicine, established the first pediatric nuclear medicine service in Israel in 2002 based on knowledge he gained at Boston Children's Hospital where he trained. As the chair of the EANM pediatric committee and a board director member of SNMMI Pediatric Imaging Council, he has been working to promote collaboration between the organizations for the benefit of the specialty and for improved imaging with lower radiation doses in children.
