[18F]FDG-PET Workshop
Assessing Brain Glucose Metabolism in Patients with Disorders of Consciousness: from Acquisition to Interpretation
General Information
The Coma Science Group (GIGA Consciousness, University and University Hospital of Liege, Belgium), is specialized in the assessment and the care of patients with disorders of consciousness. They use [18F]FDG-PET in their daily practice to assess alterations in brain glucose metabolism in patients with disorders of consciousness.
This [18F]FDG-PET workshop Assessing Brain Glucose Metabolism in Patients with Disorders of Consciousness: from Acquisition to Interpretation (online; 02.10.2021) aims to provide a thorough overview of [18F]FDG-PET imaging in brain-injured patients. Following an introduction on the scientific evidence about alterations of brain glucose metabolism in patients with disorders of consciousness, the speakers will cover a broad range of topics, from patient preparation to acquisition, processing and image analysis to results interpretation. A major focus will lie on hands on activities, to facilitate practical learning, and on the presentation of real clinical cases, to promote questions and discussions between participants and experts.
