Course Title:
Imaging in Medicine and Drug Discovery
Course Description:
Designed to prepare students to understand modern noninvasive medical imaging modalities, principally positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), used in metabolic and functional studies. Reviews the basic science of magnetic resonance and radioactivity and radiation measurement, as well as tracer kinetics, but concentrates on applications. Covers a survey of clinical radiological studies; clinical and preclinical human drug discovery and development research involving imaging; and the development and uses of radiopharmaceuticals and other contrast agents for imaging modalities, including X-rays and ultrasound as well as PET and MRI.
