Objective Objectives/Desired Results: The general purpose of the course is to introduce students to the principles of Nuclear Medicine. Furthermore, the course seeks to provide students with the basic elements for the diagnostic and therapeutic applications of Nuclear Medicine, applying a "hands on" educational process. The specific objectives of the course are specialized in the following intended learning outcomes:

Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:

  • He has understood the basic principles of Nuclear Medicine.
  • He has knowledge of the main diagnostic and therapeutic applications of Nuclear Medicine.
  • Distinguishes the main differences between normal and pathological radioisotope imaging of major organs and systems.
  • It uses the main diagnostic and therapeutic radioisotope applications in clinical practice.
  • It analyzes the scintigraphic data in combination with the history, the clinical picture and the data of the other clinical laboratory control of the patients.
  • Can collaborate with fellow students to research and analyze international literature.

General Skills

  • Search, analysis and synthesis of data and information, using the necessary technology
  • Work in an international environment
  • Work in an interdisciplinary environment
