Hybrid Imaging: PET/MR & PET/CT in Neuro-Oncology

Training Overview

Hybrid Imaging: PET/MR & PET/CT in Neuro-Oncology Training is an intensive, simulation-based educational program designed for neuroradiologists, nuclear medicine specialists, neuro-oncologists, and imaging scientists. This two-day course provides a comprehensive understanding of hybrid imaging techniques, integrating PET/MR and PET/CT for brain tumor diagnosis, staging, and therapeutic response evaluation.

The program begins with sessions on brain tumor biology, hybrid imaging principles, and multimodal image interpretation. Participants gain hands-on experience with PET/MR and PET/CT image acquisition, co-registration, quantitative analysis, and fusion-based tumor assessment using simulation platforms that replicate real clinical workflows.

Interactive case-based workshops allow participants to practice evaluating tumor metabolism, progression, pseudoprogression, and response to therapy. Dedicated simulation exercises teach standardized reporting, SUV quantification, and integration of functional and anatomical data for precise treatment planning.

Expert faculty provide insights on incorporating hybrid imaging findings into multidisciplinary tumor board decisions and clinical trial design. Participants work with anonymized patient datasets to develop reproducible, accurate, and clinically relevant imaging assessments.

By the end of the course, attendees will have developed the technical, analytical, and interpretative skills required for advanced hybrid neuro-oncology imaging in clinical practice.
