Very exciting opportunity to learn more about PET! Please check all the details below

PET BASICS Course (PGS_1709-3002)
Dates: 3.-5.4. 2023
Place: Risto Lahesmaa Lecture Hall and Zoom
Organiser: Turku PET Centre
Language: English
Target attendees: Physicians, PhD researchers and everyone else interested in biomedical
imaging
The Course is free of charge and worth of 2.0 credits for MSc and PhD degree, and 15 h for MD
specialist’s degree.
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.
