Abstract
Learning Objectives
• Understand how radionuclide imaging is employed in the
clinical routine as an important aid for better functional
characterization of a variety of non-oncological diseases.
• Understand the added value of radionuclide imaging for
the diagnosis and functional characterization of a variety
of non-oncological conditions upon which to base choice
of optimal treatment for each condition.
• Provide practical examples derived from the clinical routine illustrating how radionuclide imaging contributes to
the diagnosis and choice of optimal treatment in patients
with diseases of the brain including dementias and movement disorders.
• Provide practical examples derived from the clinical routine illustrating how radionuclide imaging contributes to
the diagnosis and choice of optimal treatment in patients
with diseases of the cardiovascular system includ ing coronary artery disease, infective endocarditis, large-vessel
vasculitis, and cardiac amyloidosis.
• Provide practical examples derived from the clinical routine
illustrating how radionuclide imaging contributes to the
diagnosis and choice of optimal treatment in patients with
non-oncological diseases of the musculoskeletal system
including metabolic diseases and infection/inflammation.
• Provide practical examples derived from the clinical routine illustrating how radionuclide imaging contributes to
the diagnosis and choice of optimal treatment in patients
with parathyroid adenoma(s).
• Provide practical examples derived from the clinical routine illustrating how radionuclide imaging contributes to
the diagnosis and choice of optimal treatment in patients
with various conditions of the nephro-urinary tract.
• Provide practical examples derived from the clinical routine illustrating how radionuclide imaging contributes to
the diagnosis and choice of optimal treatment in patients
with various functional conditions leading to altered transit through the gastrointestinal tract.
• Provide practical examples derived from the clinical routine illustrating how radionuclide imaging contributes to
the diagnosis and choice of optimal treatment in patients
with secondary peripheral lymphedema.
