Positron Emission Tomography01:29

Positron Emission Tomography

6.0K
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...

Radiation: Applications

1.3K
The average temperature of Earth is the subject of much current discussion. Earth is in radiative contact with both the Sun and dark space; it receives almost all its energy from the radiation of the Sun and reflects some of it into outer space. Dark space is very cold, about 3 K, so Earth radiates energy into it. For instance, heat transfer occurs from soil and grasses, the rate of which can be so rapid that frost can occur on clear summer evenings, even in warm latitudes.
The average...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Radiopharmaceutical Therapy Education

Background:

  • Radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) is a key area for new therapeutic development in radiation oncology.
  • The American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) established an RPT workgroup to address training needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a framework for integrating RPT into radiation oncology resident education.
  • To guide educational leaders in curriculum development for this emerging modality.

Main Methods:

  • Determining core RPT knowledge for patient selection, prescription, administration, and adverse event management.
  • Defining essential topics for clinical RPT planning and delivery training.

Main Results:

  • A comprehensive framework for RPT curriculum development has been created.
  • The framework supplements existing radiation oncology resident training.

Conclusions:

  • The ASTRO RPT framework provides a structured approach to enhance resident education in radiopharmaceutical therapy.
  • This initiative aims to ensure radiation oncology residents are well-prepared for the clinical application of RPT.
