Emphasis
on hematopoietic, cardiovascular and central nervous system imaging.
Evaluation of images related to clinical situations and procedures including
patient history, patient preparation, name and energy of radiopharmaceutical,
method of localization, dosimetry, and method of
clearance. Normal and abnormal distribution. Need for additional views and/or
procedures. Technical limitations, protocol and equipment parameters and
procedure results. Sectional human anatomy. Emphasis on the spine and neck. Prerequisites: DMI286. Corequisites:
