Why This Course Matters
Most Nuclear Medicine training teaches how to perform a scan, but not how to interpret it systematically, avoid pitfalls, or make clinical decisions.
This course fills that gap by focusing on:
- Pattern-based interpretation
- Quantification logic & SUV pitfalls
- Theranostic planning & selection
- Artefact recognition & differential diagnoses
- Multidisciplinary clinical integration
You will learn the “why” behind each imaging decision, enabling safe, high-quality Nuclear Medicine practice.
FINAL CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
To earn the Certificate in Clinical Nuclear Medicine, learners must:
- Complete all module assessments
- Score ≥ 60% in the Final OSCE + MCQ Exam
- Attend at least 3 live PET/CT or SPECT/CT workshops
- Submit one reporting assignment (optional but recommended)
Certification verifies competence in imaging interpretation & clinical decision-making.
Why Clinicians Love This Course
✔ Case-based interpretation mirroring real clinical workflows
