MEETING DESCRIPTION:
The trend to tie reimbursement for imaging procedures to accreditation of these procedures is driving an increased demand for medical physics support services. To assist medical physicists and others prepare themselves to deliver support toward nuclear medicine accreditation, MTMI has developed two continuing education programs. A 3-day seminar entitled “The Physics of Nuclear Medicine” provides a review organized around the four modules defined in the American College of Radiology (ACR) accreditation standards for nuclear medicine facilities. A second program “Hands-on Nuclear Medicine Physics”, which is described on this page, provides an opportunity to receive practical training on the testing and quality control procedures required for ACR and ICANL accreditation and for ongoing technical support of nuclear medicine facilities. An understanding of the principles and concepts presented in the first program or a background in nuclear medicine physics is necessary to take maximum advantage of the hands on program. The hands-on training program is organized with small group laboratory sessions using NM equipment and phantoms to demonstrate testing and QC procedures and is conducted by an experienced faculty.
Approval has been received from CAMPEP for up to 12.0 hours of Medical Physics Continuing Education Credit (MPCEC) for qualified medical physicists. This program has also been submitted to the SNMT for Voice Credits for Nuclear Medicine Technologists.
