Digital Technologies to Advance Clinical PET for Oncology and Beyond
Presented by: Michael V. Knopp, MD, PhD
Expiration Date: June 30, 2021 Credits: 1 Format: Audio Visual Run Time: 60 Minutes Fee: No Charge
Recent technological advances challenge traditional PET acquisition procedures in order to leverage the benefits of digital technology to improve diagnostic capabilities, patient experience, quantification and new indications. Precision medicine is a call to action to radically advance capabilities in the era of molecular targeted medicine.
In this Expert Forum Webcast, Michael V. Knopp, MD, PhD will provide an overview of current digital PET technologies and how leveraging these digital advances improves PET imaging using clinical cases. He will demonstrate how new concepts result in acceleration of acquisition time, dose reduction and dynamic imaging to help improve quality and the patient and staff experience. These new applications apply to the clinical practice for oncology, neurology and orthopedics / sports medicine.

Experiences with Multi-Energy CT: Applications in a Community Hospital Setting
Presented by: Kevin Smith, MD
Expiration Date: October 8, 2020 Credits: 1 Format: Audio Visual Run Time: 60 Minutes Fee: No Charge
In recent years, several manufacturers have developed CT scanners with the ability to acquire images at varying energy levels, thereby allowing imaging professionals to differentiate the various elements of the body based on their material density and atomic numbers.
This technique, known as Multi-Energy CT, Dual Energy CT or Spectral CT, to name a few, has the potential to revolutionize the way we depict and interpret CT scans. In this Expert Forum Webcast, Dr. Kevin Smith will share his clinical experiences with the use of Multi-Energy CT in a community hospital setting.

Common Applications of Time of Flight (TOF) Imaging: PET/CT Beyond FDG
Presented by: Bital Savir, MD
Expiration Date: March 20, 2020 Credits: 1 Format: Audio Visual Run Time: 60 Minutes Fee: No Charge
PET/CT using Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) has been used for many years as an adjunct modality to conventional imaging. Until recently, PET/CT’s main utility was in oncology and to a lesser degree cardiology and neurology. However, new radiotracers were approved by the FDA; increasing the application of PET/CT in clinical practice. This Expert Forum aims to educate medical imaging professionals about the common indications of Time of Flight (TOF) PET/CT scans using various radiotracers that include: F18- FDG, F18-Fluciclovine, GA68-DOTA-TATE, and F18-Florbetapir.

Spectral CT: Adding Value in the Emergency Department
Presented by: Gopal Punjabi, MD
Expiration Date: December 31, 2019 Credits: 1 Format: Audio Visual Run Time: 58 Minutes Fee: No Charge
Computed Tomography (CT) continues to be the modality of choice in most emergency departments and is respected for its ability to quickly capture cross sectional images of the body, allowing ED physicians to quickly assess patients.
In recent years, several manufacturers have developed scanners with the ability acquire images at varying energy levels, which allow imaging professionals to differentiate the various elements of the body based on their material density and atomic numbers.
This technique has the potential to revolutionize the way we depict and interpret CT scans. In this Expert Forum Webcast, Dr. Gopal Punjabi will share his clinical experiences with the use of Spectral CT in the Emergency Department with a focus on body imaging.
