-
1.00 Credits
This course will introduce the basic concepts of the atom, nuclear physics, interactions between radiation and matter, and nuclear imaging and counting devices. Lab exercises will emphasize the fundamentals of radioactivity and radioactive decay, radionuclides, basic statistics and quantitative measurements used in nuclear medicine, and computers and computer programming.
-
3.00 Credits
This course serves as a continuation of NUC 213 and 214 Physics and Nuclear Imaging I. This course will consist of a lecture series that will provide an in-depth study of the electronics of imaging and counting devices, fundamentals of collimation, operational characteristics of radiation detector systems and imaging devices including Anger type single and multicrystal cameras, single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET) detectors, and scintillation probe, survey meter, and dose calibrator type counting devices.

1.00 Credits
This course serves as a continuation of NUC 215 Physics and Nuclear Imaging II Lecture. This course will consist of a lab series that will provide an in-depth study of the electronics of imaging and counting devices, fundamentals of collimation, operational characteristics of radiation detector systems and imaging devices including Anger type single and multicrystal cameras, single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET) detectors, and scintillation probe, survey meter, and dose calibrator type counting devices.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of NUC 215 and 216 Physics and Nuclear Imaging II. Through lecture, it will emphasize record keeping, nuclear regulations and licensure, and an advanced study of the operational characteristics of single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), and single and multicrystal camera operations and performance. This course will also provide an in-depth knowledge of nuclear imaging and counting device quality control, quality assurance, and acceptance testing programs.

2.00 Credits
This course enables students to understand the duties of a Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) and a radiation safety program. The radiation safety program outlines the radiation protection of technologists and the public by teaching the basis of radiation measurement, the practical methods of radiation protection (time, distance, and shielding), use of personnel monitoring devices, compliance with federal, state, and local regulations including ALARA, maintenance of required records, compliance with receipt and disposal regulations of all radionuclides, supervision of a quality management program for therapeutic dosages and follow-up procedures, performance of appropriate radiation surveys and decontamination procedures, disposal of radioactive waste, and conduction of in-service education programs.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will present the basics of operating a hospital or commercial-based nuclear pharmacy by emphasizing radiopharmaceutical receipt and storage, physical and biological characteristics of radiopharmaceutical generators, preparation, quality control, activity unit calculations, administration of diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals, and FDA, NRC, and State Regulations. All commonly used radiopharmaceuticals will be discussed along with their associated methods of localization.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of NUC 234 Radiochemistry and Radiopharmacy I and will review and practice during lecture and lab exercises the basics of operating a hospital or commercial nuclear pharmacy by emphasizing radiopharmaceuticals, generators, radiopharamceutical preparation, radiopharmaceutical quality control, radiopharmaceutical activity and unit calculations, administration of diagnostic and therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals and FDA, NRC, and State regulations. All commonly used radiopharmaceuticals will be discussed along with their associated methods and localization.
-
1.00 Credits
This class will devote class sections to the discussion of new technology including techniques, imaging modalities, and equipment. In addition the students will prepare a literature search project that will review the nuclear medicine literature for pertinent changes in the nuclear medicine core areas.
-
1.00 Credits
This class will continue to devote class sections for the discussion of new technology including techniques, imaging modalities, and equipment. This class will also discuss responsibilities including the preparation of a nuclear medicine budget, the purchase/lease of new equipment, and administrative duties including a review of the insurance and governmental reimbursement process.
