Positron Emission Tomography

Medical Imaging and Radiotherapy
  • ApresentaçãoPresentation
    PET plays an increasingly crucial role in the diagnosis and monitoring of various diseases, including cancer, heart diseases, and neurological conditions. Therefore, students who successfully complete this curriculum unit will be better prepared to understand the fundamental principles of equipment operation and detection systems, as well as the technical procedures for quality control, image acquisition, reconstruction, and image evaluation.

  • MetodologiaMethodology
    The teaching methodology of this curricular unit considers an approach focused on the exposure and demonstration of content. The aim is to implement a strong dynamic on the part of students in the search for solutions to solve problems, under the guidance of the teacher. Completion of this curricular unit can be accomplished in two ways: continuous assessment or by final exam. The unit's continuous assessment is organized into two frequencies for the T component (50%), with a minimum classification in each frequency of 8 values. The PL component (50%) is assessed through two works with oral presentation, with a minimum grade of 8 points. The minimmum classification on each component (T e PL) is 9,5. The final assessment is expressed on a scale of 0 to 20 values, and the curricular unit will only be considered successfully completed if the weighted value obtained in the CF calculation is equal to or greater than 9.5 values.
