PET and SPECT Specialty Grand Challenge. When Knowledge Travels at the Speed of Light, Photons Take to the Field

The field of nuclear medicine has been involved in a significant technological advancement and in a tremendous progress in radiochemistry that opened up new and fascinating diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities. The leap forward of stand-alone systems beside hybrid imaging designs improvement and novel theragnostic methods development made possible a wider use of nuclear medicine techniques on several diagnostic scenarios. Positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) are the leading nuclear medicine modalities.
