Nuclear Imaging Perspective 

Refresher/Informatics

Presented on December 3, 2014
Presented as part of RC521: Medical Physics 2.0: Nuclear Imaging 

Participants

Douglas E. Pfeiffer MS, Presenter: Nothing to Disclose

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1) Understand the history and development of nuclear imaging. 2) Become introduced to the advances of hybrid imaging. 3) Understand the impact of equipment development on medical physics support.

ABSTRACT

Nuclear imaging has not received the attention or development enjoyed by other imaging modalities. Nevertheless, our understanding of nuclear imaging and development of protocols and hybrid systems has led to new requirements for testing and other medical physics support. This presentation will discuss these developments and the impact they have had on the medical physics support needed by nuclear imaging departments.
