PET-CT Program 2009

Positron Emission Tomography – Computerised Tomography (PET-CT) and molecular imaging is the fastest growing medical diagnostic imaging technique in the world for investigating cancer and other diseases. However, developing countries have few resources to provide adequate training on using PET-CT effectively.

Upcoming Nuclear Medical Training by The Research Institute for Asia Pacific at The University of Sydney

As integrated imaging technologies develop rapidly, the need for continuing education to update the knowledge and skills of nuclear medicine professionals is in much demand. The Research Institute for Asia and the Pacific (RIAP) at the University of Sydney offers a professional development course on Positron Emission Tomography - X-ray Computerised Tomography (PET-CT) designed to integrate the most recent knowledge and skills related to safety, and technical and clinical practice.

This comprehensive 10-day training course is suitable for physicians, scientists and technologists. Through lectures, workshops and clinical sessions the course will provide essential strategies for creating quality assurance and best practice for a safe environment and an efficient clinical service. The course also promotes team coordination for effective application of the technology. The course was successfully conducted in 2008 with excellent feedback from participants and lecturers.
