Radiopharmaceuticals For Neuroendocrine Tumors

Course overview

This tutorial is related to Radiopharmaceuticals for Neuroendocrine Tumor Imaging and gives an overview of its role in Nuclear Medicine. At the conclusion of this presentation, attendees should be able to name the three radiopharmaceuticals suitable for use in detection of neuroendocrine tumors and their required storage conditions; name the three most common indications for ordering this test; to list the prescribed injected dose for each; describe the patient preparation and thyroid blockage required for each of these drugs; to state the appropriate time post injection to begin imaging, which views are typically taken, and the imaging parameters for planar and SPECT imaging; and.to name the sites of localization of each drug in a normal patient and be able to identify neuroendocrine tumors on scans typical of the disease Price:
