ABSTRACT

 This course is intended to provide the information necessary so that a medical physicist can provide medical physics support to the ACR Nuclear Medicine and PET accreditation programs. The ACR requirements will be presented. The course will describe the physics measurements that are required for Nuclear Medicine and PET accreditation. The phantoms used will be described. The details of the measurements, expected results and common pitfalls will be described. The course will describe the role of the medical physicist in quality assurance associated with Nuclear Medicine and PET accreditation program.
