1.      Diagnostic methods of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine 4/10/2021 lecture in presence at the lecture hall   Prof. MUDr. Jiří Ferda, Ph.D. The position of the imaging in the diagnostics algorithms and in the follow up of the disease evolution. How to indicate diagnostic imaging?  The comparison of the general indications of radiological and nuclear medicine imaging methods. Radiation burden, special problems of the indications of the imaging methods in childhood and pregnancy. Current indications of the X-rays – diseases of the lungs, skeleton, special problems of mammography. The main indications of the ultrasound – imaging of the abdominal organs, cardiovascular imaging, including Doppler ultrasound, special ultrasound applications – transcranial, endosonography, ultrasound elastography. Main indications of computed tomography – urgent imaging, lung imaging, cardiovascular imaging. Main indications of the magnetic resonance imaging – imaging of the brain, spinal cord and musculoskeletal system. Diagnostic radionuclide methods, therapeutic radionuclide methods. Radiopharmaceutical selections, tissue behavior displayed by radiopharmaceutical – distribution, metabolic activity, receptor-principle, ligand binding, blood-element labeling. The selection of the imaging technique – planar scintigraphy, dynamic scintigraphy, gated-SPECT, hybrid imaging. Application of the radiopharmaceutical, radiation burden, care of the patient with the applied radiopharmaceutical, special problems of radiopharmaceutical application in childhood.  General symptoms in scintigraphy evaluation – positive and negative scintigraphy, dynamic scintigraphy evaluation. Quantification of the accumulation. Hybrid methods – SPECT/CT, PET/CT, PET/MRI.
