A Little Bit of This and a Little Bit of That
or
I may never do this procedure, but I really need to know it!

1. Understand the basic procedures from the following: vascular analysis of disease, lymphoscintigraphy (applying filtered sulfur colloid), infectious imaging with labeled WBCs/⁶⁷Ga, Mammoscintigraphy, Testicular, La Veen Shunt, CSF Shunt, salivary, La Veen Shunt, Bone Marrow Imaging, assessing the myocardium with 3-vessel disease
2. From question 1, know the pathophysiology associated with the appropriate radiopharmaceutical
3. From question 1, know the diagnostic potential for each procedure and what is considered normal/abnormal
4. From question 1, know the diseases associated with each procedure
5. Special applications should be understood with certain procedures
   1. The lemon scan
   2. Clapper Bell vs. Epididymitis vs. Varicocele vs. Hydrocele
   3. Uptake and washout are the two predictors in salivary imaging - compare quantitative to qualitative analysis
   4. Shunt patency and organ uptake
   5. Mammoscintigraphy - instrumentation and application
   6. Compare Ga67 to ¹¹¹In/^99mTc99WBCs
   7. How is ¹¹¹WBCs images normalized with Tc99mMDP images
   8. Dynamic nuclear medicine procedures
      1. Three phase bone
      2. Brain death
      3. MFB and MFR
         1. The right camera
         2. THe right radiopharmaceutical
   9. Radiopharmaceuticals and bone marrow imaging. What are your choices?
   10. Lympho mapping and the radiopharmaceutical comparison colloid and CD 206
