From: Thirty years from now: future physics contributions in nuclear medicine
The multiplicity of disciplines intersecting with nuclear medicine. The practice of nuclear medicine includes multi-disciplinary interactions with numerous diverse areas, as illustrated in this schematic metaphor for ‘molecular imaging’ in the coming years with nuclear medicine at the core. Some of these interactions are well-established already, while others are emerging and will become more important for the next generation of medical physicists.
