NUMT 1010

This course will provide students with the opportunity to expand upon their knowledge of instrumentation and quality control in nuclear medicine. Methods of acquisition, image enhancement and reconstruction, motion and attenuation correction, post-acquisition processing, and qualitative image analysis will be explored in detail. Emphasis will be placed on gamma camera instrumentation as well as Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) theory, practical applications, and quality control procedures. In addition, students will gain the ability to design and critique a nuclear medicine quality assurance program.
