Today the diagnostic applications of nuclear medicine are no longer stand-alone procedures, separate from other diagnostic imaging modalities. This is especially true for hybrid imaging guided interventional radiology or surgical procedures. Accordingly, today’s nuclear medicine specialists are actually specialists in multimodality imaging (in addition to their expertise in the diagnostic and therapeutic uses of radionuclides). This new role requires a new core curriculum for training nuclear medicine specialists. This textbook is designed to meet these new educational needs, and to prepare nuclear physicians and technologists for careers in this exciting specialty.Nuclear medicineRadiologyOncology  Nuclear Medicinehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H29048Diagnostic Radiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H29013Oncologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33160Nuclear medicine.Radiology.Oncology  .Nuclear Medicine.Diagnostic Radiology.Oncology.616.07575Volterrani Duccioedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtErba Paola Annaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtCarrió Ignasiedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtStrauss H.
