This video/DVD CME series is structured to provide a clinical perspective of PET and PET-CT imaging. The appropriate role of PET and PET-CT is put in the context of disease detection and treatment planning. The faculty have been chosen for their teaching ability, as well as for their clinical expertise.

This CME activity should benefit radiologists, oncologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and nuclear medicine technologists. The course should also prove valuable for physicians who order these studies.

At the completion of this video/DVD CME series, subscribers should be able to:

• Optimize their PET and PET-CT imaging protocols
• Implement newer protocols for oncology imaging into their practices
• Discuss the role of PET CT in cancer staging, radiation treatment planning, and assessing radiation therapy response.
• Describe neurologic and cardiovascular applications of PET and PET-CT
• Discuss FDG PET imaging in the evaluation of pulmonary nodules and lung cancer

No special educational preparation is required for this CME activity.

All video/DVD course participants are required to take a test in order to be awarded credit. (Exam materials, if ordered, will be sent with your video/DVD order.) All video/DVD course participants will also have the opportunity to critically evaluate the program as it relates to practice relevance and educational objectives.

This video/DVD series was planned and produced by Educational Symposia, the leader in diagnostic imaging education since 1975.

This video/DVD series was planned and produced in accordance with the ACCME Essential Areas and Elements.

Educational Symposia video/DVD teaching sessions feature a distinctive production process termed Studio Enhancement. The diagnostic images utilized by the faculty for each lecture are reproduced and studio-processed to optimize the display of anatomy and pathology. Each of the teaching slides are integrated into the program. This editing process ensures the video/DVD user the best image quality possible when viewing the diagnostic material. An electronic pointer is included to further reinforce the learning process. This video/DVD teaching program has been produced using broadcast quality digital equipment and editing techniques. All programs are reproduced from digital masters for maximum quality.

If you are not satisfied with your purchase, you may return your purchase (or any portion of your purchase) within 15 days of receiving it. You will receive a refund for the portion that is returned, less a $65.00 fee ($50.00 processing fee and a $15.00 standard shipping charge). If you are returning/cancelling multiple video/DVD series, please note the $65 fee applies to each series. If your purchase was sent express, the additional shipping charges will NOT be refunded. No refunds can be made after 15 days. All cancellations must be in writing. CME credit cannot be granted on the portion of the purchase that is returned.
