Editorial: Innovations in Nuclear Medicine Instrumentation

Many resources in our society depend upon two basic properties: some type of fuel to provide energy and some type of vehicle to utilize it. Airlines depend on improvements in the efficiency of their planes to perform better and on improvements in fuel to supply that efficiency. Railroads require improvements in fuel and in locomotives to deliver their products economically. This is true in medicine as well, and especially true in Nuclear Medicine. We depend upon radiopharmaceutical development (fuel) to give us the potential to conduct imaging and evaluate many disease processes that can inflict human beings.
