Beskrivning
This course aim to give PhD-students, post-docs, and researchers knowledge and understanding of the potential applications of modern in vivo medical imaging techniques in biomedical research.
Inlärningsmål
At the conclusion of the course, the attendees should have gained knowledge in the principles of Molecular Imaging and understanding of the opportunities and limitations of the in vivo imaging techniques Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Single Photon Emission Tomography (SPECT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in biomedical research.
Innehåll
The following areas will be adressed:
*Fundamentals of PET, SPECT, CT and MRI
*Radiochemistry, tracer development and quality control
*Pre-clinical methods (cell culture, homogenate binding, frozen section autoradiography, dosimetry and small animal imaging)
*In vivo imaging techniques
*Tracer kinetics, binding and modeling
*Image analysis and evaluation tools
*Clinical use of PET, SPECT and MRI
*PET in drug development
