    About this class

    This program instructs PET Technologists in practical theory and operation of the GE Discovery STE PET/CT system. Instruction is delivered by a GE PET Applications Specialist at the customer facility. This training produces the best results when a group of 1 to 4 PET Technologists are dedicated to the complete training session. It is also critical that key Physicians are available to direct patient scanning and review images. In addition, the patient schedule should be modified as indicated in the agenda to allow time for instruction.
