Knowledge means staying ahead 


Our Training Courses 

Classroom Training 

Classroom training sessions generally 

take place at our Training 

Centers. Theoretical principles of 

imaging are supplemented by a 

wide range of practical exercises 

on the most recent systems, 

giving learners the opportunity 

to gain skills for day-to-day clinical 

work. 

Clinical Workshop 

Clinical workshops are training 

programs of between one and 

several days duration with a 

special focus on clinical issues. 

They include lectures given by 

clinical experts, live examinations 

and in many cases practical 

exercises, too. 

Fellowship Program 

Participants accompany clinical 

experts on their daily rounds in a 

specialist unit, observe examination 

and diagnostic procedures, 

and expand their skills through 

direct interaction with mentors. 

E-Learning 

E-Learning content is available 

on CD-ROMs, as web-based 

training, and in live virtual classrooms. 

You receive interactive 

application training in which 

system operation is clearly presented. 

Most E-Learning courses 

conclude with a certifi cation 

exam.

Course Registration 

It is possible to register online for nearly all the courses we 

offer. In most cases all you need is the course ID. You can 

also use the registration postcard found on the following 

pages or contact us at the phone number listed beside. 

Course fees include all refreshments, catering and training 

materials. All courses held at the Siemens Training Center in 

Erlangen begin at 9:00 AM on the fi rst day. Please check your

Knowledge means staying ahead 

Knowledge is valuable and ensures the future viability of 

your workforce. Constantly building on your expertise and 

adding to your skills is a must for staying competitive. 

As a healthcare industry service provider, your hospital 

and imaging center staff need access to comprehensive 

knowledge of processes, applications and technologies. 

As a system or application user, it is vitally important to 

keep pace with advances in technology and extend your skills 

in the use of technical medical equipment. 

Whether you are a fi rst-time user or experienced specialist, 

courses given at our international training centers provide 

just the right learning environment. Our hands-on courses 

and sequenced training modules allow learners to acquire 

skills quickly and easily. The result – your company’s skills 

base and that of your employees is kept at a high level. 

Get to know CARE (Combined Applications to Reduce Exposure) 

now, an innovative technological approach for diagnostic 

and interventional imaging. Because the CARE standard 

reduces radiation exposure while maintaining consistently 

high image quality, the safety of patients and personnel is 

ensured. 

How our training 

can deliver value: 

• Additional revenues 

due to improved system 

utilization 

• More effi cient deployment 

of staff due to enhanced 

knowledge 

• Greater system availability 

due to optimized workfl ow 

• Greater patient satisfaction 

due to shorter examination 

times

Know-how in theory and practice 

Our global training concept offers participants learning 

opportunities throughout the world on the newest systems 

at state-of-the-art training centers in Germany, the US and 

China. 

Participants can attend hands-on courses with colleagues 

covering the maintenance and operation of medical systems 

and applications, without the distractions of daily clinical 

routine. Tailor-made E-Learning courseware optimally supplements 

our instructor-led courses. 

Many courses take place at the Imaging Science Institute (ISI) 

Erlangen, Germany. The ISI Erlangen is a cooperative project 

of the University Hospital Erlangen and Siemens Healthcare. 

The partners’ exceptionally close cooperation facilitates 

practically orientated training in real clinical surroundings, 

as the ISI is located right at the University Hospital Erlangen. 

The course participants attend block courses in routinely 

operated radiological examination rooms with experienced 

doctors acting as trainers and also benefi t from the comprehensive 

clinical and technical experience of the University 

Hospital Erlangen.

On the following pages you will fi nd a complete listing 

of Classroom Courses and Clinical Workshops available in 

Erlangen in the second half of 2011. From “Angiography” to 

“Ultrasound”, our courses give users system, application and 

technology training that combines theoretical principles with 

hands-on exercises in a one-day to fi ve-day course format. 

You can extend your skills and gain new knowledge by working 

closely on course content with your peers. Offering many 

of our courses in collaboration with various partner hospitals 

gives them a strong practical emphasis. 

On-site training: If the course times do not fi t your schedule,

Imaging, Transcatheter Techniques and 

Technologies for Cardiac Surgeons Individual Training & Hands-on Simulation 

In simulated cath lab conditions, participants extend their 

knowledge in working with transcatheter technologies, 

starting with accessing and closing the vessels, angiographic 

projections, proper selection and handling of catheter materials 

to complication management, and transcatheter valve 

technologies. A small learning group size allows instruction 

to be highly individual, with groups assisted by a highly experienced 

team of cardiologists and cardiac surgeons.

SPECT Imaging in Neurology 

Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and 

positron emission tomography (PET) are established imaging 

procedures in conventional and differential diagnosis of neurodegenerative 

illnesses. Coursework focuses on the use of 

FP-CIT-SPECT, with review of IBZM and perfusion SPECT as well 

as glucose metabolism PET as supplementary methods. The 

course covers the theoretical principles underlying various 

imaging modalities available for diagnosis of the most clinically 

signifi cant neurodegenerative disorders and their targeted 

and methodologically appropriate use. Practical considerations 

in the correct acquisition, evaluation and interpretation of 

imaging data are also covered, including training on camera 

systems and evaluation workstations.

Integration of IDL Applications in syngo MI Workplace 

Course participants learn to write their own applications in 

syngo MI Application (e.soft) using the IDL programming 

language. The implementation of IDL on syngo MI Workplace 

allows the creation of customized solutions for image 

processing tasks not possible using standard e.soft workfl 

ows. The main course topic is the interface between syngo 

MI Workplace and an IDL application in theory and hands-on 

training. Small sample applications are created. 

A basic understanding of medical image processing, the 

creation of syngo MI Application workfl ows, batch fi les and 

the IDL programming language is required. No experience in 

writing IDL applications for e.soft is required. For participants 

not familiar with basic IDL properties, we recommend attending 

a general IDL course prior to attending this one.

Workshop 

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is gaining in importance 

as a critical component in complementary breast tumor diagnostics. 

As an additive examination method, this diagnostic 

technique is now playing an indisputable role both in preventative 

diagnostics, e.g., in patients with a genetic predisposition, 

as well as in clarifying unclear diagnostic fi ndings or 

questionable recurrences. This workshop also covers new 

examination protocols such as MRI spectroscopy. In addition 

to introducing key theoretical principles, this hands-on 

course expands your knowledge (e.g. in MRI-guided biopsy) 

and allows learners to apply concepts learned directly to the 

latest MRI system equipment.

Ultrasound 

Ultrasound diagnostics 

From the generation of simple gray-scale images, diagnostic 

ultrasound imaging has developed into a highly advanced 

technical procedure. New areas of use and innovative applications 

have increased the importance of sonography in 

medicine. 

In collaboration with specialists across all disciplines, 

Siemens is developing new systems, modern technologies 

and innovative methods in the fi eld of diagnostics. Founded 

on a knowledge-based workfl ow, it is already possible today 

to remodel clinical routines through enhanced information 

density and by widening the range of applications – all 

of which helps achieve considerably improved diagnostic 

accuracy. 

Our training courses are planned within a narrow time frame 

in order to account for the rapid evolution of ultrasound 

diagnostics while also offering course participants the greatest 

possible amount of learning content possible.
