1.6. Nuclear Medicine
1655-LekM5CEMN-J
Classes are conducted in the form of seminars.
During the seminars, elementary information on the physical basis of imaging used in nuclear medicine is presented, and then the following systems are discussed: central nervous, cardiovascular, pulmonary, digestive, endocrine, urogenital and bone systems. Differential diagnosis of tumors and inflammatory foci as well as the possibilities of nuclear medicine in the treatment of individual disease entities are also presented. During the seminars, the active participation of students is indicated – a discussion on the issues raised.
Topics of the seminars:
• The physical basis of nuclear medicine.
• Radiopharmaceuticals used in nuclear medicine.
• Radiation protection in nuclear medicine.
• Imaging of the central nervous system.
Imaging methods used to evaluate the endocrine system.
• Radioisotope methods in cardiovascular imaging.
• Radioisotope methods in lung imaging.
• Radioisotope imaging of abdominal organs.
• Radioisotope imaging of the genitourinary system.
• Radioisotope methods in skeletal imaging.
• Radioisotope diagnostics of tumors and inflammatory foci.
• Treatment with radiopharmaceuticals.
