Nuclear medicine is a part of medicine in which radioactive isotopes are used for the diagnosis, treatment and research of diseases and functional disorders in the body.The aim of nuclear medicine teaching is that students get basic information on radionuclide and radiopharmaceutical application in diagnostics, therapy and in medical investigations. It is basically the application of minimal amounts of radioactive isotopes, which are usually introduced into the body intravenously and enable the monitoring of physiological, molecular processes and the detection of pathophysiological changes. Nuclear medicine is a multidisciplinary field that includes integral knowledge from medicine, physics, radiochemistry, radiopharmacy and bioengineering.
The knowledge acquired during the teaching of nuclear medicine enables the doctor of medicine to:
(A) adopt basic clinical indications for the application of nuclear medical diagnostic methods for effective diagnosis of the disease and monitoring the effectiveness of therapy
(B) correctly interprets the nuclear medical finding and on the basis of it refers the patient to appropriate treatment
(C) affirm the basics of nuclear medicine therapeutic procedures.
Nuclear medicine teaching comprises 33 school lessons: 16 lectures (L) and 17 practicals (P) during winter semester of the fifth year of medical studies.

TEACHING PLAN
Attending nuclear medicine lectures and practical exercises is obligatory and it comprises 33 school lessons: 16 lectures and 17 practical exercises (practical are organized in two separate groups, and therefore the overall number of practical is usually 34). The ratio between lectures and practical is 48,5 % versus 51,5 %.
It is necessary that students have their nuclear medicine card (document obtained from Administrative Coordinator Bojana Stanković) with them during lectures, practicals, colloquium and final exam in nuclear medicine. All attended lectures, practicals, as well as the colloquium and final exam results, will be registered in this student's document.
THEORETICAL TEACHING (16 scholl hours of lectures)

Assessment and evaluation of students
Dear students,
The final grade in Nuclear Medicine will take into account your engagement during lectures and practicals, points collected on the colloquium, and success in the final test.
The activity during lectures and practical exercises brings 15 points (0,5 points for each lecture and practical).
The Colloquium in Nuclear Medicine consists of the test with 10 questions. Each question carries 2 points, and the maximum of points that can be obtained at the colloquium is 20.
The final test will consist of 30 multiple choice questions. The maximum number of points for all correct answers is 65: 2 points for the first five questions, and 2,2 points for other 25 questions.
