About the course
Molecular imaging (MI) is essentially a multidisciplinary field. For a deeper understanding of the method, it is required that the course illustrates all parts of the process from the physics behind the instruments to radio-labelling of molecules validation of these in vitro and in vivo. The course will also exemplify the questions which are suitably answered by MI. The course covers
- radiochemistry in tracer development
- preclinical methods for in vitro validation of molecular traces
- preclinical in vivo imaging using PET and SPECT tracers
- image analysis and image processing tools
- quantification and modelling of tracer kinetics
- PET as a tool for drug development and
- the clinical use of PET, e.g. within neurology, oncology, cardiology, metabolic diseases and psychiatry.
