Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Technology and Application

13 - 15 April 2011, London, United Kingdom


Introduction
The principal objectives of this programme are to review the basic principles of PET imaging and to convey an understanding of the modern application of PET technology.

Specific issues to be addressed include:

* The production of PET radioisotopes.

* The chemistry of labeling compounds with short-lived positron-emitting radionuclides.

* The design of PET tracers - impact on interpretation of scanning data (e.g. position of labeling, metabolism, drugs vs. ligands).

* PET instrumentation - how does a PET scanner or a cyclotron work (physics)?

* How PET data is analysed (kinetic modeling, image analysis).

* How PET can be used as a tool in basic biomedical research, drug development and discovery, pharmacology, individual patient management, diagnosis and treatment of disease.
