Description

The Dosimetry certificate course was created to help physicians, physicists, technologists, researchers, and other members of the radiopharmaceutical therapy community build a practical foundation in radiopharmaceutical dosimetry. Dosimetry is becoming increasingly important as our field moves toward more personalized and quantitative approaches to radiopharmaceutical therapy. The goal of this course is to help learners understand not only the terminology and equations, but also how these concepts appear in real clinical and research workflows. The course begins with the foundations: nuclear physics, radionuclides, radiopharmaceutical design, and measurement. From there, we move into quantitative imaging, including SPECT/CT and PET/CT calibration. Then we follow the dosimetry workflow itself: anatomy and segmentation, image registration, activity quantification, time-activity integration, organ-level dosimetry, and voxel-level dosimetry. Later modules address preclinical dose estimation, radiation biology, normal tissue limits, agent-specific considerations, available software tools, quality control, dosimetry for therapeutic versus diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals, and future directions for the field.

• Module 1: Section 1-5 (May 2026). Section 5 will be added soon.
• Module 2: Section 6-10 (September 2026)
• Module 3: Section 11-15 (December 2026)
• Module 4: Section 16-20 (March 2027)

Financial Disclosure

In accordance with the ACCME Standards for Integrity and Independence in Accredited Continuing Education and the SNMMI Conflict-of-Interest Policy, the speaker, moderator, organizers, planners, reviewers and staff have indicated no relevant relationships that could be perceived as a real or apparent conflict of interest. Disclosure of a relationship is not intended to suggest or to condone bias but is made to provide participants with information that might be of potential importance to their evaluation of the activity.

Target Audience
Nuclear medicine physicians, technologists, physicists, and pharmacists.

Objectives
At the completion of Module 1 the participant will be able to:
1. To discuss dosimetry with a common, shared language and apply it consistently in practice including in quantitative imaging.
2. To discuss relevant nuclear physics and radiopharmaceutical design factors as they relate to dosimetry
3. To apply the principles of image reconstruction to dosimetric applications and the discuss the role and importance of the measurement of radioactivity in the dosimetry space. 

Course Community and Discussion Forum

Participants are encouraged to continue course-related discussion through the SNMMI Dosimetry Training and Certificate Program GitHub Discussions community:

https://github.com/SNMMI/dosimetry-training-certificate-program/discussions

This optional forum is intended to support professional discussion, shared learning, and collaboration around radiopharmaceutical therapy dosimetry.

Learners may use the forum to ask general course questions, discuss module concepts, share publicly available resources and references, explore clinical implementation challenges, and ask questions about software tools and workflows.

The discussion forum is not required for CE credit and is not a venue for patient-specific medical advice. Participants must not post protected health information, patient-identifiable information, clinical screenshots with identifiers, DICOM images or reports containing identifiers, confidential institutional documents, unpublished clinical trial data, assessment questions or answers, or copyrighted/restricted SNMMI course materials. Case-based questions should be fully de-identified and framed for general educational discussion.

Continuing Education Credit Information

To receive CE credit for Module 1, learners must first complete the activity content, achieve a score of 80% on the post-course assessment, and complete the evaluation for each section. Learners will have no more than three attempts to successfully complete the post-test. This activity must be completed by the expiration date listed above.

Learners will receive a certificate after successfully completing each section.

Physician (AMA-PRA Category 1 Credits TM):
The Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Inc., (SNMMI) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing education for physicians. SNMMI designates this enduring material for a maximum of 3.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™.

Physicists
This module offers 3.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit^TM for physicists who complete the assessment and evaluation. 


Pharmacist (ACPE):
The Society for Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Inc. (SNMMI) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) as a provider of continuing pharmacy education.
