Course Description:

• Clinical nuclear medicine is a unique and growing medical specialty that contributes most significantly to our understanding of the functional changes which accompany the disease.
• It remains true to the very essence of functional imaging which characterizes the field of nuclear medicine and distinguishes it from the more morphologically based radiological imaging procedures.
• Both the diagnostic and the therapeutic aspects of nuclear medicine rely on their efficacy on the physiological changes produced by disease.
• Today nuclear medicine is one of the medical specialties with great opportunities for innovation and creative thinking.
• It will be most profitably used when both researchers and practicing physicians have taken the time to understand the pathophysiology basis of scintigraphy and radionuclide therapy.
