HSCI 51600 - Molecular Imaging-Nuclear Medicine

Credit Hours: 2.00.  This course is related to molecular imaging by SPECT (single-photon emission computed tomography) and/or PET (positron emission tomography). This course is particularly useful for graduate and senior undergraduate students in the medical physics programs. It has been offered to MP and HP graduate students over the last 4 years (2014 - 2018) as a part of the 3-credit molecular imaging course with magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS: 1-credit) taught by Dr. Ulrike Dydak, computed tomography (CT: 1-credit) taught by Dr. Keith Stantz, and nuclear medicine (NM: 1-credit) taught by Dr. Shuang Liu. In the future, it will be expanded the “Nuclear Medicine” section as a 2-credit course on the basis on the previous lectures. This course focuses on recent development in nuclear medicine techniques for noninvasive imaging of brain diseases, cancer, and heart diseases. This course is delivered as 50-min lectures twice a week. Students are expected to spend more time for homework and literature reading. Typically offered Fall.Credits: 2.00
