The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Course Directors: Henry N. Wagner, Jr., MD and Richard L. Wahl, MD
The precise tailoring of treatment for patients with cancer is an unmet challenge. The goal is to only administer treatments that have a high probability of being effective. Imaging with PET/CT and SPECT/CT provides methods that will help achieve this goal. The program covers the current clinical challenges, the new emerging answers from imaging, and how these methods can be applied to patient care.
Short descriptions of the fundamentals of maximizing the performance of these procedures are presented and a greater emphasis is put on interpretation of the studies. Johns Hopkins physicians and visiting experts describe how to use PET/CT and SPECT/CT to help solve the problems encountered when treating patients, and nuclear medicine physicians with extensive experience using these techniques give insight into how best to tailor the studies for patients with various types of cancer.
Learning Objectives
