Abstract

Over the past 50 years, nuclear medicine and molecular imaging (NMMI) have grown tremendously across the world and now collectively play an important role in the elaboration and implementation of management strategies for prioritized public health issues. In many countries during this period, critical advances in technology, computing software, radiopharmacy and instrumentation have boosted the impact of NMMI in multiple medical fields. This heightened impact has led increasingly to awareness of nuclear medicine as fundamental in the diagnosis and treatment of many disorders and diseases.
