AD-LEARN mini-course for Techs and Nurses: The Value and Challenges of Brain SPECT in PET in Neurocognitive Disorders
May 20, 2025 – 13:00 – May 21, 2025 – 17:00 CEST
The course is designed for Technologists and Nurses to enhance their expertise in applying radiopharmaceuticals for AD and MCI diagnosis in nuclear medicine. Participants will learn radiation protection principles, radiolabelling procedures, and waste management. The program also covers novel PET radiotracers for molecular diagnosis of neurocognitive disorders. Additionally, the course addresses patient and caregiver management and the role of Technologists in operating SPECT and PET equipment for AD and MCI imaging. Led by European experts, the interactive sessions will allow participants to engage in discussions and ask questions, fostering a deeper understanding of the subject.
Learning Objectives
- To gain knowledge about the methods and principles of radiolabelling and waste management with a special focus on radiation protection
- To become educated in terms of radiotracers used in neurocognitive disorders diagnostic management
- To learn the radiolabelling procedures’ adverse events basics and errors’ prevention
- To be informed about the principles and importance of appropriate cooperation between medical professional, patient and their caregiver before, during and after SPECT and PET neurocognitive diseases’ imaging
- To understand the roles and responsibilities of Technologists and Nurses in the nuclear medicine neurocognitive diseases’ diagnostic management
- To improve the skills in terms of the interdisciplinary medical team collaboration focusing on Technologists/Nurses and other medical specialists’ cooperation.
