Sažetak
Nuclear medicine (NM) is a branch of medicine that uses unsealed radioactive substances for diagnosis and therapy. NM became an independent medical specialty under the European Directives in 1988. The minimum duration of the postgraduate specialized training in the European Union is 4 years, but may be extended beyond this period according to the requirements for training in other clinical disciplines. Candidates for specialized training should have a good general background in internal medicine. More detailed knowledge about those conditions which may need to be investigated or treated by NM techniques has to be acquired. Some complementary imaging and biological methods as far as they relate to NM procedures must be mastered. Training in basic sciences, such as pharmacokinetics, radiochemistry, instrumentation, image processing, dosimetry and quality control is required.
