Current Status of Nuclear Medicine Practice in the Middle East

The practice of nuclear medicine (NM) in the Middle East region has experienced an important growth in the last 2 decades and has become crucial in providing healthcare to the region’s population of about 395 million people. Even though there are some countries in which the services provided are limited to basic coverage of studies with 99mTc and 131I, most have well-established practices covering most of the available studies in this medical specialty; this is the case in for example, Iran, Israel, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey.
