Focus on honing your nuclear medicine diagnostic skills with this distinctive course that combines didactic lectures and rapid-fire case review sessions to provide deeper insights into nuclear medicine.

Learning Outcomes and Lectures

After completing this course, the learner should be able to:

1. Develop differential diagnoses for nuclear medicine findings
2. Recognize the imaging and clinical features that allow for refinement of differential diagnosis, allowing for a more specific diagnosis
3. Recognize some commonly encountered imaging artifacts in nuclear medicine and describe why they occur and the techniques to avoid them
4. Outline management decisions affecting a variety of commonly encountered clinical scenarios
