ARRS Practical PET/CT: What You Need to Know

ARRS Practical PET/CT: What You Need to Know

Full Video Course

PET/CT is an essential imaging study, largely serving the fields of oncology and neurology, that combines the sensitivity of providing physiologic data about pathologic conditions with the diagnostic capability of CT. This course focuses on many important practical issues in PET/CT, optimizing PET/CT protocols and image production, as well as interpretation and optimizing communication.  Particular attention is placed on the most recent updates and role of PET/CT in cancers diagnosis and treatment. Updates in dementia imaging with amyloid agents and F18-FDG are also discussed.
