Briefing
The nuclear medicine course is a subject that deals with the ways in which radioactive material is used inside the human body to diagnose, treat or destroy tissue.
The course presents with both lectures and classes. It is of huge benefit to familiarize yourself with the thyroid gland, its physiology - as well as pathophysiology, and the ways in which thyroid malignancy may be detected using radioactive substances.
The professor of the course likes to conduct his classes in an interactive fashion, therefore, he may ask a lot of questions. Having some foundational knowledge about the thyroid, PET, SPECT, MR and gamma camera is of huge benefit. However, lecture materials are also very helpful as they expand on these topics.
The course of Nuclear Medicine concludes with one test, which will be conducted at the very end of all the lectures and seminars.
Attendance is taken during both lectures and seminars - thus, mandatory.
