NMED 5511 - Positron Emission Tomography Clinical Applications

Designed for students with experience in radionuclide imaging and an understanding of the physics of positron emission tomography (PET), this course provides the knowledge base to perform PET clinical imaging in oncology, neurology and cardiology applications. Emphasis is on integrating theoretical understanding with clinical experience to make informed decisions about procedural technique, modifications, patient considerations, interventional pharmaceuticals, risks, quantitative and qualitative image data collection, data manipulation and data reporting. Through case study review, students will gain experience identifying image artefacts and differentiating normal results from those indicating pathological processes. Investigation of current research and professional literature on PET clinical applications will provide a foundation for relating research developments to practice. (3 Credits)
