Nuclear imaging and PET imaging course

This longstanding course is designed to teach the scientific principles upon which nuclear medicine imaging is based. It gives an introduction to the underlying physics and radiochemistry principles which form the basis of nuclear medicine before delivering a set of detailed lectures covering all aspects of imaging.

The course is run over four days (Tuesday – Friday). Each day is designed to cover a particular theme. The first day primarily covers radionuclides and radiation protection, the second day focuses on gamma camera and SPECT imaging, the third day is dedicated to PET/CT imaging. The fourth day concentrates on individual patient dosimetry / treatment planning for molecular radiotherapy.
