Description:

Extended Field of View vs. Standard Field of View 18F fluoro-2-deoxy-glucose PET/CT Imaging in Melanoma Patients: Assessing Clinical Value Through a Multi-Center Observational Study [10:50-11:15]
Nichole Bower, BHSc, MRT (NM) -Dalhousie University/Nova Scotia Health

  • Advance knowledge of the role of PET/CT in the clinical management of cutaneous melanoma
  • Enhance the understanding of image appropriateness in PET/CT for melanoma based on research findings
  • Identify barriers and facilitators of MRT led research

This session will be 25 minutes (20 minute presentation with 5 minutes of Q&A)


The Diagnostic Accuracy of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT versus 99mTc-MDP Bone Scintigraphy for Identifying Bone Metastases in persons with Prostate Cancer: A Systematic Review [11:15-11:450
Lisa Bonin, MRT(NM), Adjunct Lecturer, NUMT Faculty -School of Health Sciences, Dalhousie University

  • Gain perspective on the processes and challenges associated with performing a systematic literature review.
  • Appreciate the merits of 99mTc-MDP planar bone scintigraphy and 68Ga PSMA PET-CT in evaluating skeletal metastases in prostate cancer patients.
  • Discern between measures of imaging accuracy in detection of bone metastases in prostate cancer patients for the radiopharmaceuticals discussed, and consider future best practices.


This session will be 25 minutes (20 minute presentation with 5 minutes of Q&A)
