The aim of this workshop is to provide the participants with theoretical background and practical skills required for the successful quantitative processing of PET or SPECT data. Emphasis will be given on applicability of the material and on hands-on experiences. The didactic approach is to accompany the lectures by on-line demonstrations using real or simulation data, and to allow time for supervised computer exercises. Each participant has a computer available with all modules of the PMOD software installed, and can work on example PET data as well as on own data brought along. A CD will be provided containing the course material as well as the example data.
