An advanced workshop for medical physicists working in nuclear medicine departments, diving deep into advanced nuclear medicine imaging, emphasizing quantitative methods, rigorous quality control, and emerging trends.
The ICTP-IAEA workshop, tailored for medical physicists, delves into the complex world of nuclear imaging. Participants will explore SPECT & PET quantification, both theoretical and hands-on, using state-of-the-art freeware. Emphasis on quality protocols and addressing physical effects ensures data accuracy. The curriculum includes Monte Carlo simulations for gamma camera optimization and insights into the evolution of hybrid imaging. The goal of this course is to arm attendees with the skills and knowledge to leverage future innovations, ensuring a seamless blend of theory and practical application for improved clinical outcomes.
Topics:
- Introduction to quantitative imaging in nuclear medicine
- Principles of image quantification and data analysis in SPECT and PET
- Quality assurance and control in nuclear medicine imaging
- Physical effects on image quantification accuracy and compensation methods
- Hands-on sessions on imaging and analysis with freeware software
- Monte Carlo simulations in nuclear medicine
- Image quantification in hybrid imaging (SPECT/CT and PET/CT)
