Basics of positron emission tomography (PET Basics) -kurssi yksityisille
Positron emission tomography (PET) is non-invasive and quantitative imaging modality using molecules labelled with positron-emitting radioisotopes in tracer quantities (i.e. without pharmacological effect) to visualize and measure rates of biochemical processes (e.g. enzyme reactions, ligand-receptor interactions, cellular metabolism, cell proliferation, gene expression) in tissues of living subjects. Therefore, PET is an important tool to elucidate mechanisms associated with diseases and drug actions. The course aims to provide students with a broad and general introduction to the PET imaging.
The main purpose of this course is to enable students to understand the interdisciplinary nature of PET imaging. After the course one should have basic knowledge of the PET imaging field of its physics, radiochemistry, and data analysis, research and clinical applications.
By purchasing this course, you will gain access to 29 recorded video lectures, each around 30 minutes of length. The access right is valid for 90 days from the creation of your user account to the lecture video service Echo360. University of Turku Helpdesk will send you your user account details and an information package regarding the use of the service.
