BMD Mission 1. Promote uses of radioisotopes and radiation in medical
diagnosis, therapy and complex imaging techniques, and in other life science research including neutron, photon, and charged particle applications
2. Stimulate and promote the creation of specialized materials, equipment and facilities required for the pure and applied research in these areas
3. Advance and improve techniques and methodologies using nuclear and atomic radiations in nuclear medicine and other life science research and applications.
