Form:

Introduction lecture 2 hours long in the building of school, 2 seminars both 3 hours long at the Departmen of Nuclear Medicine, building H, hospital.

Scope:

Get information about routine work at the department with the emphasis to the handling of open sources of radioacitivity, risks for patients, monitoring of the working places and staff, how to influence radiation burden to the patients and staff. Demonstration of basic imaging devices and their parts during patient evaluation. Demonstration of imaging as well as non-imaging methods used in the department including processing of images. Production of radionuclides, reactor, cyclotron, generators. Radiopharmaceuticals ? definition, properties, production, quality control. Frequently used radiopharmaceuticals labeled with gamma emitters and positron emitters, radiopharmaceuticals used for therapy.

Contents:

Lecture:

Introduction to the branch, brief history, content, position in the medicine. Principle of the diagnosis and therapy using open sources, patient and staff protection, parts of the department.
