       From September 15 to September 17, 2023, the Medical Physicist (Nuclear medicine) training base was jointly built by the Nuclear Medicine Branch of China National Health Association, the Training Department of China National Health Association, the Nuclear Science and Technology College of the University of South China, Jiaxing First Hospital and Zhejiang Ruipai Medical Technology Co., LTD. The second offline practical training course for medical physicists (Nuclear Medicine) was successfully held in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province. More than 20 students from all over the country participated in the training.

Our training courses are designed to focus on the combination of theory and practice, led by Rui Pai Medical senior engineer Ding Baoqiang; Luo Lixiao, director of Medical Physicist (Nuclear Medicine) Training Base; Sun Pengliang, Director of Ruipai Medical Technology, served as the keynote teacher of this training course. The course content includes SPECT, PET standard interpretation and detection points, SPECT uniformity, maximum count rate, resolution and linearity, sensitivity detection methods. PET model positioning, PET resolution detection, sensitivity detection, as well as CT quality control, PET QC and other practical teaching, through theoretical learning, practical operation, expert discussion, artifact reading film sharing, students can apply a variety of practical knowledge to practical work, improve their technical level.
       On the 15th, lecturer Ding Baoqiang explained the interpretation of SPECT and PET standards and the main points of detection, focusing on the interpretation of the PET quality control testing standard WS817-2023, which was newly promulgated by the Health and Health Commission. Share the projects and technical requirements of PET stability testing that will be completed by physicists in the future, the preparation work before testing and the points that should be paid attention to in the testing process, the detection method of PET spatial resolution, the detection method of PET sensitivity, etc.
       Lecturer Luo Lixiao led the students to visit the exhibition room of core components of Repair medical nuclear medicine imaging equipment and the equipment room of the training center. Led the students to watch the PET detector module, probe signal analog-digital conversion board, motion control board, slip ring carbon brush, sodium iodide crystal, photomultiplier tube and collimator and other objects, he introduced the internal structure and working principle of SPECT and PET in detail, and let the students have a deeper understanding and a more comprehensive understanding of these high-end nuclear medicine equipment.
       In the clinical practice base of Medical physicists (Nuclear medicine) (Jiaxing First Hospital), lecturer Ding Baoqiang and head of the training base Luo Lixiao respectively explained the detection methods of SPECT uniformity, maximum count rate, resolution and linearity and sensitivity to the students. PET model positioning, PET resolution detection, sensitivity detection, CT quality control, PET QC and other practical operation teaching demonstration, in-depth understanding of the detection model positioning, radioactive source preparation, learning computer acquisition and how to process and analyze image data, through practical operation, deepen the understanding and memory of the students on the detection process.
       The artifact reading meeting was a highlight of this training. Sun Pengliang, the medical technical director of Repair, gave a lecture entitled "Analysis of Nuclear Medicine Image Quality Problems and Reasons" based on his years of work practice. The discussion was heated on site. At the same time, I deeply felt the important role played by nuclear medicine physicists.
       On the afternoon of the 16th, lecturer Ding Baoqiang led the students to personally experience the point source of PET resolution detection and the line source preparation process of PET sensitivity detection. During the preparation process, Teacher Ding gave patient guidance to the students' operation.
       During the training, Director Cheng Aiping, Director of the Nuclear Medicine Department of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital, Standing Committee Member of the Nuclear Medicine Branch of China National Health Association and Chairman of the Nuclear Medicine Branch of Zhejiang Province of Chinese Medical Association, explained to the students how to become a qualified medical physicist and how to become a nuclear medicine physicist considered qualified by nuclear medicine doctors. Combined with specific cases, the importance of the physicist is described from several aspects. Clarify the job responsibilities and work content of the physicist, the knowledge and skills required.
       Wang Xinqiang, deputy director of the Department of Nuclear Medicine of the Sixth Medical Center of the Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital and deputy Secretary General of the Nuclear Medicine Branch of the Chinese National Health Association, led the participants to review the development history of nuclear medicine in China in detail, and introduced the factors affecting the quality of acquisition, digital image acquisition parameters, image processing and other contents. The participants gained a more comprehensive understanding of the responsibilities of nuclear medicine physicists.
       After the training and assessment, the lecturers and students took a group photo. The success of this training course cannot be achieved without a professional team of teachers and high-quality teaching facilities. We invited experienced nuclear medicine technical experts as lecturers, who not only imparted knowledge, but also shared their practical experience and skills. In addition, we are also equipped with advanced nuclear medicine imaging equipment, providing students with a good learning environment and practice conditions.
       In the future, we will continue to hold nuclear medicine physicist training courses to provide more students with the opportunity to learn and grow. We will continue to improve the training content and methods, and strive to train more excellent nuclear medicine physicists to contribute to the development of the medical imaging field.
