Program Description: This course was designed for the nuclear technologist as a comprehensive guide to dysrhythmias commonly manifested by imaging patients. The content begins with a brief overview of cardiac anatomy, physiology, and electrophysiology; continues with a description of leads, lead placements, and waveforms for analysis; and concludes with a description of essential ECG rhythms and ECG strips that describes the needed identification criterion. Program Disclaimer: The accuracy of the facts and opinions contained in this course are the responsibility of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect those of echelon® or its sponsors. Practitioners should consult primary resources, state regulations, and their healthcare facility policies and procedures for specific application of said content to their local situation. Mandatory Statement: This activity may be available in multiple formats or from different sponsors. ARRT regulations state that an individual may not repeat a self-learning activity for credit if it was reported in the same or any subsequent biennium.

Fundamentals of ECG & Basic Dysrhythmias Program was designed to advance the clinical expertise in the understanding of dysrhythmias and ECG. Part 1 of our series provides the platform in understanding and analysis of ECG rhythms. The course begins with a review of cardiac anatomy and physiology in relation to electrophysiology, dysrhythmias and heart blocks; the course then advances into ECG including leads and waveforms followed by strip analysis. This course is intended to deliver to the healthcare provider a review of the basic fundamentals of cardiac anatomy, physiology, and electrophysiology, and is a recommended prerequisite to Part 2 - Rhythms and Part 3 - Treatment and Pharmacologics. This course is intended to deliver to the healthcare provider a review of basic cardiac anatomy, physiology, and electrophysiology. The content includes heart structure and function, cardiac depolarization and repolarization and repolarization, the relationship of each ECG waveform to the electrical events in the heart, waveform measurement, rate calculation, and analysis techniques for ECG strip interpreting and lead placement.

Fundamentals of ECG & Dysrhythmias was designed to advance the clinical expertise in the understanding of dysrhythmias and ECG. Part 3 of our series provides an overview of pacemakers and an introduction to the pharmacologics generally used to manage dysrhythmias. This course is intended to deliver to the healthcare provider the knowledge of the types of pacemakers, possible malfunctions, their causes, and appropriate actions. In addition, the healthcare provider will have the fundamental skills to identify ECG strip representations of pacemaker malfunctions and pharmacologics in terms of antiarrhythmic drug classifications, use, dosage, guidelines, and clinical impact.

Program Description: Fundamentals of PET/CT is designed to provide imaging professional and radiation technologists with a basic understanding of the components, theory, use, and benefits of PET/CT technology. It begins with a discussion of the theory and development of PET and CT scanners and the steps that led to merging their technology to produce the PET/CT. Other topics include a brief look at some of the PET/CT systems currently available; the image acquisition process, including whole body scans, heart and brain studies, and radiation therapy planning; and image formation and reconstruction and list mode theory, acquisition and processing. The final module addresses quality control procedures necessary for maintaining and operating PET/CT equipment. Completion: To receive continuing medical education credit, you must view each topic, participate in each activity, achieve at least an 80 percent passing rate on the posttest, and complete the course evaluation.
