Preclinical Imaging in Small Laboratory Animals

The German Society of Nuclear Medicine (DGN) is establishing a curriculum for Preclinical Molecular Imaging. The objective is to train scientists and technologists in preclinical molecular imaging covering current technologies available to monitor rodents in vivo. The curriculum covers basic and advanced theory, including kinetic modelling, and quantitative image analysis as well as basic and advanced imaging practice and animal handling. The curriculum is subdivided into 4 modules. Upon successful completion, the attendee will receive a certifi cate of attendance. Modules I & II will be offered during the DGN congress in April 2010. The curriculum (module I, II and IV) will be offered at future DGN congresses to ensure continuity. Practical training (Module III) will be offered by various imaging labs.

The curriculum targets the following groups:
* Biologists
* Physicians
* Physicist
* Chemists
* Biochemists
* Technologists

Module I:
Animal Use & Care (3h)
- Animal Protection Law (EU & Germany)
- Animal Use and Care - General Aspects for Imaging Science
- Monitoring of Vital Parameters in Rodents
- Biosafety (S1/S2)

Module II:
Non-Invasive Small Animal Imaging (7h)
- Biological Basics of Imaging Probe Distribution
- Optical Imaging
- Optical Probes
- Computed Tomography (CT)
- Nuclear Imaging: SPECT, PET
- Nuclear Imaging: Image Reconstruction and Correction
- Nuclear Imaging: Data analysis
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Image Generation
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging: fMRI, DWI, ASL
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Contrast Agents
- Ultrasound & US Probes

Search / advanced search of the idw archives
Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
