Technologist/radiographer Track

This first ever Technologist/radiographer Track presents an opportunity for practising nuclear medicine technologists/radiographers to deepen their knowledge in a number of areas including PET-CT & SPECT-CT optimization and more – as listed hereunder.

Content of the track:

• Multimodality imaging refresher
• Normal variants, artefacts & optimisation in multimodality imaging
• Anatomy, physiology & common pathologies in multimodality imaging
• Advanced PET topics including radiotherapy planning and respiratory gating
• Radiation protection in multimodality imaging
• Scanner calibration and quality control
• Patient-focussed practice and the use of IV contrast

The target audience:

• Nuclear medicine technologists (NMTs) currently practicing in the field, with EQF6 knowledge, skills and competence (KSC)
• NMTs who have completed ESMIT 1 Level technologist webinars and who wish to develop their KSC.

The aim of this track is

• To refresh knowledge of the principles of PET-CT and SPECT-CT and the radiopharmaceuticals used
• To be aware of significant normal variants and urgent presentations
• To understand principles of PET Quantification/SUV calculation
• To understand scanner calibration of PET, SPECT and CT
• To understand effects of reconstruction and acquisition parameters on image quality
• To understand the principles of dose optimisation in hybrid imaging
• To learn methods of reducing effective dose to patients while maintaining image quality
• To understand basic principles of optimising CT parameters in hybrid imaging
• To understand how to use contrast enhanced CT in SPECT-CT & PET-CT protocols

The 17th National Congress of Italian Radiographers will take place in Naples on 29th and 30th September 2017.

The 17th National Congress, pursuing an innovative approach to the scientific program with the cooperation of the TTSSRM scientific reference associations, will provide 4 plenary sessions and 8 mono-thematically courses organized according to organ-district-pathology.

This approach, starting from the person and his health needs, will help to raise the awareness of individual TTSSRMs to operate within complex processes, in which their contribution is only one of the many required but necessary and important as well as in the other professions.

Please find more information about the advanced program of the congress at http://tsrm-eventi.it.

The ESMRMB 2017 aims to be a platform for physicians, engineers, radiographers/NM technologists and scientists interested in MR research and clinical practice.

We welcome radiographers to the upcoming congress, where select sessions will cater especially to radiographers!

You can actively shape the congress programme by submitting your abstract until May 18, 2017!

Become a member of the ESMRMB and save more than 50% in membership fees as a radiographer!

Members also benefit from reduced fees for the congress as well as ESMRMB’s educational activities.
