Cardiac Imaging

3 credits · Undergraduate

This clinical education course will provide students with the opportunity to apply theory gained in Nuclear Medicine Clinical Procedures III (NUMT 2020) to clinical practice through an immersive four- week clinical placement focused on cardiovascular procedures. Emphasis will be placed on the application, evaluation, acquisition, and processing of nuclear cardiology procedures with a focus on myocardial perfusion imaging (rest, exercise, and pharmacological), equilibrium radionuclide angiography, and 12-lead electrocardiography (ECG). Students will assess, modify, and apply instrumentation applications for each procedure performed. Quality control procedures, evaluation, and troubleshooting techniques will be used to optimize outcomes and ensure validity of results. PREREQUISITES: NUMT 2500.03 RESTRICTIONS: Restricted to Bachelor of Health Science students in the professional stream of Nuclear Medicine Technology
