  2) Explain basic information about radioactive substances and radiopharmaceuticals.
  3) Explain radiation measurement and systems.
  4) Recognize the devices used in nuclear medicine.
  5) Gama camera device learns the principles of operation.
  6) Learns PET-CT imaging techniques and working principles.
  7) Knows the process of making tests.
Skills (Describe as Cognitive and/or Practical Skills.)
  1) Nuclear Medicine department makes the necessary controls of the devices.
  2) Can talk to the patient and inform her before the procedure.
Competences (Described as "Ability of the learner to apply knowledge and skills autonomously with responsibility", "Learning to learn"," Communication and social" and "Field specific" competences.)
  1) Have the equipment to follow the periodic calibration, maintenance and repairs of the medical device they are responsible for.
  2) Çekim sırasında hastanın pozisyonu ve çekim kalitesini kontrol eder.
