|
Emphasis
on positron emission tomography (PET) therapy imaging and other studies new
to the nuclear medicine imaging field. 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 abdomen and pelvis. Prerequisites: DMI290. Corequisites:
DMI278 or permission of Nuclear Medicine Technology program director. |
