Learning Objectives
After viewing this program, participants should be able to:
- Be familiar with the basic techniques used to perform a PET/CT or SPECT/CT
study and the steps necessary to perform several studies on the same patient
and obtain useful quantitative response data
- Gain perspective about which patients benefit the most from these studies
to assess response to treatment
- Learn how Johns Hopkins physicians are using PET/CT and SPECT/CT studies
to meet the challenges faced when treating patients
- Understand how this field is rapidly developing and gain insight into the
exciting areas that lie ahead
