Training activity information
Details
Present case studies of imaging investigations following the patient pathways from referral, justification/authorisation, image acquisition and processing, reporting and discussion of results. To include image investigations using:
- Tomographic nuclear medicine
- Hybrid techniques
Type
Developmental training activity (DTA)
Evidence requirements
Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee​.
Reflection on the activity at one or more time points after the event including learning from the activity and/or areas of the trainees practice for development.
An action plan to implement learning and/or to address skills or knowledge gaps identified.
Considerations
- Referral information and choice of test
- Choice of radiopharmaceutical, radiopharmaceutical provision and administered activity
- Use of adjuvant medications
- Uptake/imaging period
- Acquisition parameters
- Processing and display techniques
- Patient understanding of procedure
- Patient consent process (implied, verbal)
- Patient centred care and support and patient experience
- Local procedures and published guidelines
- Operator roles
- Practical implementation of IR(ME)R
- Role of test within the patient pathway
- CT contrast
