Nuclear Medicine

Nuclear Medicine is responsible for the diagnosis of more than 30 million patients yearly as well as for the treatment of cancer, especially when tumours have spread all over the body. In this course we will cover the basics of NM including production of radioisotopes, preparation of radiopharmaceuticals, imaging modalities and radionuclide therapy. As part of this course several guest lectures are incorporated given by researchers working in Nuclear Medicine departments who can provide insight into real practice in the clinic.
