The Nuclear Science Symposium, Medical Imaging Conference, Symposium on Nuclear Power Systems and 14th International Workshop on Room Temperature Semiconductor X- and Gamma-Ray Detectors will be held for the first time in Italy, in the prestigious city of Rome, on October 16-22, 2004. This conference represents a unique occasion for scientists and engineers from all over the world to participate and present their original works in a variety of subjects related to nuclear science and medical imaging.

The Nuclear Science Symposium offers an outstanding opportunity for scientists and engineers interested or actively working in the field of nuclear science, radiation instrumentation, software and their applications to meet and network with colleagues from around the world.

The Medical Imaging Conference is the most productive international scientific meeting on the physics, engineering, and mathematical aspects of nuclear medicine based imaging. In addition, significant contributions in X-ray and other imaging modalities involving ionizing radiation are an emerging area of the Medical Imaging Conference.

The Symposium on Nuclear Power Systems will again be held in conjunction with the Nuclear Science Symposium. The Technical paper sessions on nuclear power systems cover subjects currently of major interest to the operation of nuclear power stations and supporting services and suppliers.

The Room Temperature Semiconductor X- and Gamma- Ray Detectors workshop represents the largest forum of scientists and engineers working to develop new solid-state radiation detectors and imaging arrays.

The venue of the conference is the Ergife Palace Hotel, one of the largest exhibition and congress areas in Europe. Its complex is unique, combining the largest hotel in Italy with one of the most extensive exhibition facilities in Europe on the same site. This provides a remarkable opportunity to make the congress activity pleasant and relaxing, saving time and avoiding such things as the stress of traffic in the city. The Ergife Palace Hotel is located in a residential area of the capital in a key position near S. Pietro and within a short distance of the historical center of the city. It is only 4 kilometers from the main Ring Road, and only 26 kilometers from Fiumicino’s Leonardo da Vinci International Airport. It is within walking distance of the underground station. Regular bus services provide connections with all of the important cultural sites and commercial centers in Rome. Taxi services are constantly available to guests and a shuttle service is provided by the hotel on demand.
