Clinical Case-Based Review of Nuclear Medicine

Learning Outcomes and Lectures

After completing this course, the learner should be able to:

• develop differential diagnoses for nuclear medicine findings
• recognize the imaging and clinical features that allow for refinement of differential diagnosis, allowing for a more specific diagnosis
• recognize some commonly encountered imaging artifacts in nuclear medicine and describe why they occur and the techniques to avoid them
• outline management decisions affecting a variety of commonly encountered clinical scenarios
