Abstract:
Nuclear Medicine as a branch of medicine aiding in functional diagnosis and having therapeutic applications has evolved multi-dimensionally in the past decades due to technological advancements and scientific innovations. Other branches of medicine such as cardiology, neurology, oncology, radiotherapy etc. are greatly dependent on nuclear medicine for not only imaging but also treatment planning and execution and in terms of diagnostic, prognostic and predictive endpoints. In addition to the revolutionary developments of radiopharmaceuticals, equipment, computer and data sciences, the relative importance of these theragnostic applications changed significantly in itself and also for other specialties finding wide applications in the treatment of neurological, neuroendocrine, lymphatic and prostatic cancers.
