ABSTRACT

Apart from medical knowledge, NM includes physics, pharmacy, biology, chemistry, mathematics, computer science, and all branches of engineering concerned with the development of devices used in NM.

NM embraces a vast set of applications such as imaging methodologies using radionuclides (ranging from autoradiography to positron emission tomography [PET]), in vitro analysis, metabolic radiotherapy, and medical research studies and techniques involving radioactive tracers.
