80042606 - Enhance Patient Care with Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging - EM

Wednesday, July 26, 2017, 7:00 AM - Sunday, July 26, 2020, 11:59 PM EST

Description

Nuclear Medicine has long been recognized as the imaging modality that can best assess function and the results of events that occur at a molecular level. The increased understanding of genomic and specific molecular mechanisms is now being more widely applied in clinical situations. The goal of this program is to discuss how nuclear molecular imaging can increase the effectiveness of many studies performed daily in both academic and community hospital imaging centers. Johns Hopkins faculty and outside experts present their experience with PET/CT and SPECT/CT and illustrate their results with studies from their patient populations.
