Course Description:
The Nuclear Medicine Society of Singapore will be organising the Nuclear Medicine Update 2019: Inaugural PET/CT Course from 13 to 15 August 2019. The course is co-organised with University Hospital Zurich and is part of the programme of the Singapore Congress of Radiology (SGCR) & Workshops in Interventional Radiology Education Singapore (WIRES), held in conjunction with the 19^th Congress of the ASEAN Association of Radiology.

This symposium and hands-on workshop jointly organised by the Department of Nuclear Medicine, University Hospital Zurich and Nuclear Medicine Society Singapore aims to provide reporting nuclear physicians a comprehensive update of the applications of PET/CT in clinical practice, and the evolving applications of PET/MR.

Course Objectives:
• Hybrid PET-imaging is now recognised as an indispensable tool in multiple facets of oncology management, with clinical indications extending to dementia, cardiology and infection.
• Hybrid imaging enables combined anatomical and functional information, and with the development of targeted molecular imaging probes, it has a key role in advancing personalised medicine and optimised patient care.
