Prerequisite:
Prior approval through advisor, faculty member, department chairperson, dean, and Provost Office
-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
Designed for music majors who wish to receive practical experience working with people in music or in areas related to music.
-
3.00 Credits
Theoretical aspects of nuclear medicine imaging procedures, including applicable pathophysiology, technical aspects for data acquisition, and computer analysis of data. Systemic radionuclide therapy procedures are also discussed.
-
3.00 Credits
Applicable aspects of nuclear and atomic physics are covered both in theory and mathematical formulae. Theoretical topics include atomic and nuclear structure, radioactive decay, interactions with matter, and radionuclide production methods. Mathematical concepts discussed are the decay equation, equilibrium, and radiation dosimetry.
-
3.00 Credits
Covers the basic principles of both in vitro and in vivo instrumentation. The design, operation, and quality control of gas detectors and scintillation detectors are covered. Survey equipment, spectrometers, and stationary imaging devices are presented with their application to nuclear medicine. Hands-on laboratory experience with single channel analyzers and Anger cameras is included.
-
2.00 Credits
Topics include ionization and energy transfer; molecules, cellular, tissue, and organ response to radiation; acute and chronic effects of radiation; radiation protection; licensing requirements; recordkeeping; and management of clinical radiation spills.
-
1.00 Credits
In vivo clinical nuclear medicine procedures not resulting in images as well as principles of in vitro radioassay are presented. Included are venipuncture, blood volumes, red cell studies, Schillings test, principles of immunology, various types of radioassay, and sensitivity and specificity of procedure.
-
3.00 Credits
Topics include tracer theory, pharmacological actions, localization methods, radiopharmaceutical properties, radionuclide generators, radiopharmaceutical preparations and quality control, and transient vs. secular equilibrium. Routinely used radiopharmaceuticals are discussed.
-
1.00 Credits
An introduction to the basic principles of cross-sectional anatomy and tomographic imaging is presented. Topics include body planes and cross-sectional anatomy of the heart, brain, liver, and lumbar spine, as applicable to nuclear medicine, and the theory and application of both SPECT and PET imaging systems.
-
16.00 Credits
Students complete 1,320 hours of supervised clinical training at an affiliate hospital. Students receive instruction and participate in the performance of various clinical nuclear medicine procedures, patient care, administrative duties, radiopharmaceutical preparation and quality control, equipment quality control, quality assurance, and radiation safety. Students develop both their technical skills and interpersonal communication skills for incorporation into the medical community and to provide high-quality patient care. Only offered on a pass/fail basis.
Prerequisite:
Completion of 77cr at IUP and Phase I at NMI
