Principles of Nuclear Medicine chapter 4 3 مبادئ الطب النووي الفصل الثالث والرابع

Nuclear medicine fundamental, The Nuclear Medicine Fundamentals course introduces the principles and clinical applications of nuclear medicine, a field that uses small amounts of radioactive materials (radiopharmaceuticals) to diagnose and treat diseases. The course covers the basic physics of radiation, types of radionuclides, and their safe handling. Students will learn about imaging techniques such as PET (Positron Emission Tomography) and SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography), as well as their role in detecting cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological disorders. Emphasis is placed on understanding how radiopharmaceuticals localize in specific organs, enabling functional imaging rather than just anatomical visualization. The course also highlights radiation safety protocols for patients and staff, quality control procedures for nuclear medicine equipment, and ethical considerations in diagnostic and therapeutic applications. By combining theory with case-based learning, students will gain a strong foundation to apply nuclear medicine principles in clinical practice and research. المعهد الفني الصحي
