Aim and content This is a generic course. This means that the course is reserved for PhD students at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences at UCPH. Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student at the Graduate School, you will be placed on the waiting list until enrollment deadline. After the enrollment deadline, available seats will be allocated to the waiting list. The course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School), and for PhD students at NorDoc member universities. All other participants must pay the course fee. Learning objectives A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: 1. Explain basic photochemical properties of clinically used fluorophors 2. Have an overview of which optical probes has been investigated pre-clinically 3. Explain and understand the clinical potential of optical imaging in surgery 4. Handle an optical camera imaging system 5. Have insight in current clinical uses of optical imaging in surgery Content Optical imaging in surgery has been a rapidly developing field the last 10 years. It is currently being used for imaging of perfusion, sentinel lymph nodes, critical structures as the ureter and visualization of tumor tissue. The course will give the student an in-depth knowledge about optical imaging from bench to bed. Topics as photochemical properties, pre-clinical testing of upcoming optical agents and the use of these agents in the clinical setting. Participants The participants can be PhD students with interest in optical imaging coming from chemistry, pharmacology, biology or medicine. No qualifications are needed, but a limited knowhow about optical imaging is recommended. 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: Medical and Molecular Imaging Clinical Cancer Research Surgical Sciences Language English Form Lectures and a small hands-on session Course director Andreas Kjaer, Professor, Dept. of Clinical Physiology, Nuclear Medicine & PET and Cluster for Molecular Imaging, Rigshospitalet and University of Copenhagen, akjaer@sund.ku.dk Teachers Karina Juhl, MSc, PhD, Dept. of Clinical Physiology, Nuclear Medicine & PET and Cluster for Molecular Imaging, Rigshospitalet and University of Copenhagen and FluoGuide Anders Christensen, MD, PhD, Dept. of Clinical Physiology, Nuclear Medicine & PET and Cluster for Molecular Imaging and Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery & Audiolog, Rigshospitalet and University of Copenhagen Dates 09 and 10 October 2023 Course location University of Copenhagen and Rigshospitalet Registration Please register before 10 September 2023. Seats to PhD students from other Danish universities will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and according to the applicable rules.
