The British Nuclear Medicine Society celebrates its
50th
th Anniversary with this booklet, which reflects the
research of many of the pioneers in the use of radionuclides for
the diagnosis and therapy of human disease. Since 1949 there have
been remarkable advances in radionuclide techniques and imaging
equipment: from the first devices “home-made” in the many physics
departments throughout the UK, to the sophisticated multimodality
imagers now in everyday use in Nuclear Medicine. The BNMS has
been instrumental in promoting the use of radionuclide techniques
in the investigation of pathology by supporting and providing
education, research and guidelines on the optimum use of
radiation to help patients. The future of Nuclear Medicine is
bright, thanks to improved imaging resolution, new
radiopharmaceuticals, and new diagnostic and therapeutic
techniques and procedures.
