??Kerngeneeskunde Afdeling??
Navorsing
Verskeie personeellede is aktief betrokke by navorsingsaktiwiteite. Die meeste van hierdie navorsingsaktiwiteite geskied in samewerking met kliniese departemente van Tygerberg Akademiese Hospitaal, soos Kardiologie, Neurologie, Neuropsigiatrie, Respiratories, Chirurgie, Stralingsonkologie, Hematologie en Urologie.
Die afdeling het toegang tot die nuutste PET/RT fasiliteite met al die skandeerders wat vir navorsingsskandering deur EARL? geakkrediteer word. ?
Lede van die afdeling is ook mede-navorsers by verskeie navorsingsprojekte, onder andere infeksie (oorwegend tuberkulose), breinfunksie (demensie, bewegingsversteurings, angstigheid), kanker (limfoom, ginekologiese maligniteite) en radiodosimetrie (radionuklied terapie toepassings). Kerngeneeskunde is ook dikwels by navorsingsprojekte wat deur die Internasionale Atoomenergieagentskap (IAEA) en die Suid-Afrikaanse Mediese Navorsingsraad befonds word, betrokke. Die afdeling werk nou saam met die NuMeRI Node vir infeksiebeelding?, ‘n geaffilieerde navorsings PET/RT eenheid.Twee spesialis radiofarmasie laboratoriums ondersteun die afdeling se kliniese navorsingsaktiwiteite. Radiofarmasiepersoneel is betrokke by verskillende navorsingsvelde, insluitend gehaltebestuur, en Ga-68 generators en radiofarmaseutika.
Die afdeling tree ook as gasheer vir MSc, MMed en PhD studente en nagraadse navorsers op.
