To disseminate PET-MR imaging knowledge, skills and understanding, in order to enable effective and efficient PET-MR use, in research, clinically and in industry. Image Aims of our flexible, intermittent, part-time, online distance learning (OLDL) programme: to provide an understanding of PET-MR imaging theory, techniques, analysis and applications to develop research planning and designing skills, incorporating PET-MR imaging to enable interpretation and analysis of relevant PET-MR imaging data to relate PET-MR imaging research to clinical applications Learning outcomes for students who complete the full Certificate (Cert) programme: Demonstrate subject specific knowledge and understanding in both PET and MR individually, as well as in the unique situations which arise from combining the two techniques into a single imaging unit Develop subject specific knowledge, encompassing a number of specialist areas such as: Technical and physical principles Applications in disease Practicalities relating to health, regulations and safety State and apply the practical health, regulation and safety issues pertaining to PET, MR and the combined techniques Communicate the principles and applications of PET-MR imaging to other operators and users, e.g. radiographers, researchers and clinicians, to ensure optimum study design and use of the technology Explain and justify the PET-MR patient pathway by integrating practical knowledge around patient management with constraints determined by the imaging technique Critically appraise current and recommend future applications of PET-MR, both in research and clinically Next: Courses & structure This article was published on 2024-08-22
