Curriculum on "Preclinical Imaging in Small Laboratory Animals - PRIMA"

The Curriculum aims to satisfy the growing demand for education and training in this field. It`s objective is to train scientists and technologists in preclinical molecular imaging covering current technologies available to monitor rodents in vivo. The curriculum covers basic and advanced theory, including kinetic modelling and quantitative image analysis as well as basic and advanced imaging practice and animal handling.

A common approach

The Curriculum on “Preclinical Imaging in Small Laboratory Animals - PRIMA" is a common approach of the European Society for Molecular Imaging - ESMI, the World Molecular Imaging Society – WMIS, the Society for Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging – SNMMI, the European Association of Nuclear Medicine – EANM, and the German Society for Nuclear Medicine, and the ESMI.

 

By combining our forces we are convinced by the success of PRIMA!

The MODULES

The PRIMA Curriculum is subdivided into four modules.

The single modules can be attended separately; it is not necessary to attend all four modules.

 

Module IV

"Quantitative Image Analysis & Application Specific Imaging"

Module IV is organised by the ESMI in cooperation with the WMIS subsequent to the World Molecular Imaging Congress - WMIC in Savannah

Module III

“Specific in-depth practical training” (5 days)
currently offered in Tuebingen and Muenster, Germany

Module II

"Introduction to Non-Invasive Small Animal Imaging“ (7 hours)

Module I

"Animal Use & Care“ (3 hours) I and II will be offered in the scope of the annual congresses of the SNMMI, the EANM
