Aim and content This course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School). All other participants must pay the course fee. Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student, you will be placed on the waiting list for the course until enrollment deadline. After the deadline of enrollment, available seats will be allocated to students on the waiting list. Learning objectives A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: 1. Explain tracer kinetic principles in physiology, nuclear medicine and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). 2. Define Fick’s principle, compartments and rate constants 3. Theorize on impulse response function, exponential functions and convolution 4. Reflect on own project from a tracer kinetic perspective 5. Use software for tracer kinetic modeling approaches 6. Evaluate and select among kinetic models used for performing kinetic analysis of dynamic datasets Content Aspects covered: basic mathematics, introduction to SPECT, PET, and MRI, steady state, indicator diffusion, Fick's principle, clearance, extraction, mean transit time, convolution and impulse response, residue detection, Kety-Schmidt method, receptor kinetics and quantification, models of glucose consumption (Sokolof), water exchange and perfusion measurement, practical exercises on simulated and real datasets. The participants are encouraged to present and discuss their own projects. Participants PhD students in medicine, biophysics, physics, chemistry, and biology. Graduates with interest in this field. Max. 12 participants Relevance to graduate programmes The course is relevant to PhD students from the following graduate programmes at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences, UCPH: All graduate programmes Language English (unless there is only Danish speaking participants) Form Interactive teaching with examples and PC exercises.

Registration Please register before 1 February , 2018 Seats to PhD students from other Danish universities will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and according to the applicable rules. Applications from other participants will be considered after the last day of enrolment. Note: All applicants are asked to submit invoice details in case of no-show, late cancellation or obligation to pay the course fee (typically non-PhD students). If you are a PhD student, your participation in the course must be in agreement with your principal supervisor.
