About the Fellowship
The PET/CT & Theranostics Fellowship is a unique training program in all aspects of Theranostics adoption and applications applying radiopharmaceutical drugs and/or techniques that are uniquely combined to simultaneously or sequentially diagnose and therapeutically target an expanding number of radiosensitive malignancies.

This Fellowship focuses training in diagnostic / nuclear and PET/CT (Molecular) imaging, radiopharmaceutical handling, dosimetry, radiobiology and radiophysics. At the completion of this Fellowship the trainee will have been exposed to the hybrid nature of this new area in medicine and have a firm conceptual grasp of all its intricacies.
