Recent recorded grades — Spring 2013: 4.00 GPA, 100.0% A/AB (n=10 letter grades); Spring 2014: 4.00 GPA, 100.0% A/AB (n=6 letter grades); Spring 2015: 4.00 GPA, 100.0% A/AB (n=11 letter grades).

What you’ll be able to do

  • Identify the basic methods for the production of radionuclides used in nuclear medicine imaging, including cyclotron produced parent / progeny generators.

  • Illustrate how to perform evaluations/ testing of the nuclear medicine imaging systems for proper performance. This includes scanner characteristic measures that would be made for acceptance test and periodic QC measures.

  • Perform these evaluations/tests in an accurate fashion.

  • Analyze the results of these tests.

  • Create a report of these results which document the findings and communicate them to someone who is not a scientist.

  • Properly use individual radiation protection techniques during the testing.

  • Describe how radionuclides are synthesized into radiopharmaceuticals for human use. This includes how quality control tests are performed and the significance of each test.
