Course OverviewThis four-day preceptorship is designed to provide practicing radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians with an intensive, hands-on experience in reading PET/CT. The course is geared to physicians who have already completed some formal course work on PET and/or PET/CT but have only gained a limited experience reading scans in their daily clinical practice. The attendee will interpret in a frontline fashion over 150 PET/CT scans covering clinical applications in oncology and neurology. Through participation in multiple scan interpretation sessions, each concluding with a detailed review of the key findings, the attendee will develop a higher level of expertise and confidence in interpreting PET/CT. While the vast majority of teaching will be at the workstation, didactic lectures will be given to reinforce the pertinent elements of scan interpretation and to highlight pitfalls, artifacts, acquisition protocols and uncommon clinical indications. A certificate indicating the number of supervised PET/CT interpretations will be awarded upon completion of the course. |
