A FOND FAREWELL
The

During the early years of the ICANL, Dr. Beven played an integral
role in the initial drafting of the ICANL Standards for
General Nuclear Medicine. Gary V. Heller, MD, ICANL President,
stated, "His expertise in all areas of nuclear medicine
has been an invaluable asset to the organization." Dr.

An
Update To The Application Fee.
Following the July deadline, the following new application fees
will be in place:
$3800...Comprehensive

Nuclear Cardiology Testing and/or PET Testing)
OR:
$3300...Nuclear Cardiology Testing only | $3300...Nuclear

Agreement
Change Fee.
A fee of $200 will be applied for those laboratories wishing
to make changes to the wording of the Accreditation Agreement.
As the ever-increasing number of requests for changes to the
agreement result in subsequent attorney fees and increased amount
of staff time for the ICANL, the Board felt that the fee has
become a necessity.
Revision
Of The ICANL Logo.
Have you noticed the new look of the ICANL? The logo was recently
modified to include the organization's symbol for PET imaging,
thus ensuring that all three components of nuclear medicine
accreditation are clearly represented.
