Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Explain the pathogenesis, pathophysiology, clinical signs, and symptoms of diseases and disorders involving the gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, lymphatic, reproductive, and nervous systems as they relate to Nuclear Medicine.
- Relate pathophysiology principles to the pharmacologic and dietary agents relevant to the pathologies examined by Nuclear Medicine procedures of the gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, lymphatic, reproductive, and nervous systems.
- Explain pathophysiology principles found in current nuclear medicine literature that apply to gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, lymphatic, reproductive, and nervous system imaging.
- Demonstrate skills in scholarship by communicating fundamental pathophysiological concepts in emerging procedures in Nuclear Medicine.
