SCHOOLOF MEDICINE ., 12.7

52.2..1. COMPUTERApPLICATIONSIN MEDICINBI. First, Second, Third, and Fourth years. Discussions of different areas in which computers are being applied in medical research and in patient care. The discussions will be at an intuitive level and will not require previous knowledge of computers on the part of the students. The class will

be

conducted using informal panel discussions in which faculty, guests, and students will participate.

One hour per week. FALL. Dr. Brill. Dr. Priet, and Staff.

52.2..2.. COMPUTERApPLICATIONSIN MI>DICINI>II. First, Second, Third, and Fourth years. The organization of computer systems and computer program- ming will

be

taught with an emphaSIS on medical applications. The first semester course on Computer ApplicatIOns In Medicine IS not a prerequisite.

One hour per week. SPRING. Dr. Brill, Dr. Price, and Staff.

52.3. FUNDAMBNTALPRINClPLES IN USE Of RADJOISOTOPBSIN BIOLOGYAND MBDICINB. First year. The first six weeks of this course are used to present fundamental principles of nuclear physics and tracer methodology necessary for understanding the use of radioisotopes in biology and medicine. Lecture review: elementary nuclear physics; basic principles of tracer methodology;

the design of experiments illustrating different types of radioisotopes; safety practices in use of radioisotopes in biology; and the use of necessary instrumentation. Laboratory work includes experiments with different beta and gamma emitters in typical physiological or biological experiments. The second six weeks will deal with clinical applications of radioisotopes. We will discuss the use of tracers in imaging organs and tumors and the use of tracers in vitro and in vivo kinetic and metabolic studies. Special considera- tions on radiation safety in the use of radioactive isotopes in medicine a~e presented. Students participate in clinical studies and laboratOry expen- ments. Three hours per week, first twelve weeks. FALL. (Biochemistry 52.1). Dr. John G. Con/tho (Profmor of Biochemistry), Dr. Brill, and Dr. Patton.

52.4.1. INTRODUCTIONTO NUCLEARMEDIClNEI. Second, Third, and Four~h years. After an introduction to basic instrumentation, the course wlll present applications of nuclear medicine techniques to clinical proble~ns in the field of internal medicine, including kinetic and metabolic studies in endocrinology, hematology, and gastroenterology. Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures will

be

discussed in reference to the use of nu~le~r medicine in clinical decision-making and patient management. ThIS If followed by discussions of nuclear radiology, i.e., the applicati?n 0

nuclear medicine techiques to diagnostic imaging problems. StUdIes. of different body systems will include CNS,

GI, GU,

cardia-vascular, respIra- tOry, bone, bone marrow, and endocrine. The relationships betwee~ orgdan visualization, morphology, and function will be discussed. Climcal e- cision-making will be stressed. In-virtO nuclear medicine is presented with discussions of radiopharmaceuticals in terms of composition, m~t~- bolic fate, compartment analysis and tracer kinetics, rediochemica~ pur~t}, preparation, and uses; and discussions of laboratOry techniques tn. dl~g' nostic nuclear medicine including radioimmunoassay, competitive blndFI.ng tests, and other laboratory procedures using radiopharmaceuticals. Ive hours per week, fourth six weeks.
