Beyond FDG: Other radioisotopes and radiopharmaceuticals used in PET-CT

Radiographers and Technologists

18-FDG has become the de facto radiopharmaceutical for imaging many types of cancer; however, it is not applicable in all cases (e.g. prostate or cardiac imaging).

Course Type: eLearning

Duration: 0.5 hours

This course explores other radioisotopes and radiopharmaceuticals less frequently used in PET-CT imaging to enhance radiographers’ and technologists’ knowledge about these lesser-known alternatives.

This e-learning course can be completed at your own pace and at a time and place to suit both you and your organisation’s requirements.

Suitable for radiographers and nuclear medicine technologists.

Learning Outcomes

Describe the alternative radioisotopes and radiopharmaceuticals to FDG-18.
Determine which radioisotopes and radiopharmaceuticals to use for each case.
List the advantages and disadvantages of using each radioisotope and radiopharmaceutical.
