    About this class

    This program instructs PET Technologists in the theory and operation of a GE Discovery PET/CT scanning system. Instruction is delivered by a GE CT Applications Specialist at the customer facility and focuses on basic system operation and patient procedures. The training produces the best results when 1 to 4 Technologists are dedicated to the complete training session. It is also critical that key Physicians are available to review protocols and images. In addition, the patient schedule should be modified as indicated in the agenda to allow time for instruction.
