Course Overview

Please note: This course is undergoing redesign and development. Please check back later for 2025 course dates.

PET/CT has become the standard-of-care imaging modality in cancer management and has garnered an evolving role in diagnosing neurodegenerative and oncologic diseases. This 150-case, three-day course is designed to provide practicing radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians with an intensive, hands-on experience in reading PET/CT.

Attendees will interpret more than 150 oncologic PET/CT scans. Each multiple-scan interpretation session concludes with a detailed review of the key findings. Through these sessions, the attendee will develop a higher level of expertise and confidence in interpreting PET/CT. If you have already completed some formal course work on PET and/or PET/CT but only have limited experience reading scans in daily clinical practice, this course is for you.

 

At the conclusion of this course, you will be able to:

  • Identify and discuss the clinical applications of PET/CT
  • Describe a systematic approach to interpreting PET/CT.
  • Recognize normal variants, incidental findings and pitfalls on PET/CT
  • Interpret PET/CT for a wide range of oncologic indications including assisting in diagnosis, staging, restaging and monitoring response to therapy in a variety of cancer types

Excellent faculty and one-on-one assistance

All faculty members were terrific — good teachers one-on-one and good lectures.

Bravo! Another outstanding CME activity. I now feel qualified to interpret PET/CT.

This course is wonderful! I learned so much with hand-on experience. We will be recommending this to the rest of the members of our group.
