| Title of the course: | Selected Issues from Veterinary Nuclear Medicine |
| Type: | C |
| Credit: | 4 |
| Time span: | 24 hours |
| Prerequisites: | Chemistry final exam, Biophysics final exam |
| Lecturer: | Balogh Lajos DVM, PhD (National Center of Health, National 'F.J.C.' Research Institute for Radiobiology and Radiohygenie) |
| Summary: | Our aim is to provide students with basic knowledge on Veterinary Nuclear Medicine. Absolved specialty course on "Radiobiology for Vets" is recommended but not obligatory. Selected issues will be lectured on the history of veterinary nuclear medicine, most frequently applied state of art scintigraphical methods radiotherapeutical choices will be lectured from the clinicians point of view. Emphases will be on clinical interests e.g.: patient selection, indications of nuclear techniques, evaluation of clinical findings, and possible research applications. |
| Topics: |
Introduction, history of veterinary nuclear medicine, radiation protection Thyroid scintigraphy Bone and bone marrow scintigraphy Oncological scintigraphy Inflammation scintigraphy Functional organ examinations e.g.: kidney, hepatobiliar, heart scintigraphy Radiation therapy (introduction, how it works, doses, veterinary specialties) Teletherapy (60Cobalt source) Radioiodine therapy of thyroid diseases Systemic applications of radiopharmaceuticals (bone metastases palliation, receptor and antibody targeting therapy) Local applications of radiopharmaceuticals (radiosynovectomy, local tumor handling), Brachytherapy |
| Practical course: | Visiting a Veterinary Nuclear Medicine laboratory at the National Research Intitute for Radiobiology and Radiohygiene. |
