Nuclear medicine equipment and techniques:
-Theoretical bases
-Procedure (Operating Protocols)

Teaching material taken from international literature for the theoretical part.
Typical images of Nuclear Medicine taken from clinical practice (instruments and materials)

Technical-professional contents (knowledge and skills) specific to Nuclear Medicine

2nd year students with basic knowledge of Radiology Technician and notions of Anatomy

Frontal lessons

The lessons I give are complemented by on-the-job training

Written test with exercises and/or
oral exam
