Description:
As our population ages and the burden of caring for older adults increases, the search for improved diagnosis and novel radiopharmaceuticals for cancer, dementia, movement disorders, epilepsy, heart disease has become a top priority facing all healthcare professionals. Radiopharmaceuticals are a growing group of radioactive drugs used for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. Advances in diagnostic imaging have the potential to personalize care. These disease-specific or target-specific imaging agents help clinicians determine the most appropriate course of treatment and management, namely precision medicine. This live webinar series will take a close look at these new options and best practices in diagnostic imaging, radiopharmaceuticals, and radioactive tracers for managed care professionals.

 Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Examine the components and principles of the various imaging modalities used in radiology and nuclear medicine

  • Explore the evolving diagnostic applications of radioactive tracers in cancer, cardiology, and neurology

  • Assess the role of molecular imaging and radiopharmaceuticals among the management armamentarium in patients with prostate cancer

  • Describing the significance of F-18 labeled tracers and what they offer over SPECT imaging and other PET MPI tracers in the patients at risk for coronary artery disease (CAD)

  • Evaluate the evolving role of molecular imaging in the diagnosis of early Alzheimer's disease to facilitate treatment with novel options

  • Characterize pressures that impact patient and provider access to molecular imaging in managed care settings
