Turner Talks with Cheryl Turner: Guests Dusty York and Dr. Richard Fleming Discuss the Quantification Methods - Part 3 (CE ARRT)

This discussion is about the ideas and theories of Dr Richard Fleming regarding the need for quantification in nuclear imaging. The group will talk about the differences between qualitative vs quantitative results and how this impacts patient diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Fleming will explain the sophistication of nuclear imaging, while discussing the consequences of relying solely on qualitative imaging and the critical need to update current methods. The panel will look into diagnosis and treatment of cancer and heart disease, measured quantitatively, and will talk about the value of data in the patient care process.
