What advancements will nuclear medicine see moving forward?
There's always a stride for new tracers and new radio tracers, and that's why radiochemistry is very important in nuclear medicine. As we develop new tracers we are able to look at other physiological processes that we haven't been able to look at very carefully or accurately in the past. There's also strides in imaging systems, especially in what we call hybrid imaging systems which combine anatomy or a structure with physiological information through nuclear medicine. So both from the point of view of what is administered, radiochemistry, and from how we form the image through instrumentation of both, there are great advancements that are going on today.
