PMOD Small Animal Image Processing Course | March 14, 2012 | Zurich, Switzerland

| Overview | |
|
The PMOD Small Animal Image Processing Courseis a one-day course that focuses on specific aspects of small animal imaging when working with PMOD. The participants will be trained in the processing of small animal data using PMOD and will learn the principles and special techniques required for the meaningful analysis of the uptake in small tissue structures. Brief presentations will be complemented with live demonstrations, and sufficient time will be available for individual practice and for interacting with the trainers.
The participants are required to bring their own notebooks. They will receive a USB flash key with the latest PMOD version as well as training data sets. PMOD can be started directly from the key, such that the configuration of the notebook will remain untouched. As a courtesy, the key can be taken home and will work for another two months. This will give the participants the opportunity to complete their studies if needed, and to try the PMOD tools on their own data.

Target Audience and Prerequisites | |
|
The audience is expected to be researchers who do preclinical studies on small animals or plan to do so, PET hardware engineers as well as scientists wishing to learn more about end user requirements, researchers and engineers interested in molecular imaging techniques, and so on.
To get optimal benefit from attending, some familiarity with PMOD will be required, particularly with the viewing (base), fusion, and kinetic modeling modules. Attendants new to PMOD can acquire such knowledge at the two-days PMOD Basic Application Course (see below), and/or by requesting via the PMOD website a two- months trial license and practicing with the example data provided.

Course Teachers | |
|
The course will be taught by senior PMOD staff and by two seasoned PMOD users and experts in the field of small animal research: Kristina Fischer, Laboratory for Preclinical Imaging and Imaging Technology, University of Tübingen, and Dr. Geoff Warnock, Cyclotron Research Center, University of Liège, Belgium.

Complementary PMOD Courses | |
|
Right before/after this course, the following courses will be organized in the same course environment:
- PMOD Basic Application Course, Monday/Tuesday, March 12/13, 2012
- PMOD Small Animal Imaging Lab, Thursday, March 15, 2012
The aim of the two-days basic course is to teach the participants the effective use of the major PMOD tools. Brief presentations will outline the principles behind the different types of data analysis. They will be complemented by live demonstrations. Sufficient time will be available for individual practice based on a workbook and for interacting with the trainers. The basic course constitutes an ideal preparation for this course. The participation in the small animal imaging lab is optional, yet strongly recommended.
Registration for the above courses is being handled separately from registration for the PMOD Small Animal Image Processing Course, yet volume discounts do apply on multiple course registrations. See consolidated price list published on the flyer: "PMOD Courses in March 2012".
