Description

This course is designed to provide CT and Nuclear Medicine Technologists (and interested learners) with a comprehensive understanding of the deep technical and safety aspects of SPECT/CT. The readings cover critical topics such as scan safety and Quality Assurance, physics and systems, and clinical procedures. It concludes with an insightful look at the future of this evolving imaging technique.

Did you know?

Despite the common perception that image quality is primarily determined by hardware (like multi-headed cameras), the final image quality and diagnostic accuracy are heavily dependent on sophisticated, proprietary reconstruction algorithms.
