Medical Physics and Radiation Protection for Clinical Radiopharmaceutical Therapy and Theranostics
About this Program
This course is designed to help you better understand the relevant radiation imaging and therapeutic medical physics considerations for current clinical and radiopharmaceutical therapy and theranostics. You will learn administrative and procedural controls that should be considered for these therapy procedures. Important considerations will be addressed for facilities and non-imaging equipment as well. You will be able to ask questions of the expert faculty at the conclusion of each half-hour of lecture.
Educational Objectives
By the end of this webinar session, attendees will be able to:
- Review the important considerations for facilities and non-imaging equipment relevant to clinical radiopharmaceutical therapy and theranostics;
- Understand the relevant radiation imaging and therapeutic medical physics considerations for current clinical radiopharmaceutical therapy and theranostics;
- Discuss the administrative and procedural controls that need to be considered for clinical radiopharmaceutical therapy and theranostics.
