Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the subject is to acquaint students with the history and development of radionuclide functional and imaging methods and their position in the current diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm. The subject includes a detailed discussion concerning the physiological and pathological findings on planar static and dynamic scintigraphy, single-photon emission tomography (SPECT, SPECT/CT) and positron emission tomography (PET, PET/CT) according to the individual organ systems. The subject also introduces students to the operation of nuclear medicine equipment, such as the scintillation detector, scintillation gamma camera, SPECT, SPECT/CT, PET, and PET/CT.
Student will gain competence to independently perform radionuclide examining and treatment methods, operate a gamma camera SPECT, SPECT/CT, PET/CT, provide treatment by radionuclides, and dispose of radioactive waste.
