Internet resources related to nuclear medicine and radiopharmacy
  1. VirRAD Community: The aim of the VirRAD Community platform is to provide a sustainable, user-driven web-based interface which assists communication between all members of the worldwide Radiopharmaceutical community and helps them to:

    … expand their horizons
    … share their ideas
    … solve everyday difficulties
    … disseminate best practice
    … develop innovative solutions to universal problems

    in order to promote the continuing contribution of the specialty to science and health-care.

  2. Canadian Society of Nuclear Medicine
    Formed in 1998 as a multidisciplinary professional Canadian organization with a common interest in the scientific and use of radionuclides. The organization seeks to:
    1. Maintain the highest possible standard of education, research and practice of nuclear medicine
    2. Hold and annual scientific and business meeting
    3. Ensure communication among nuclear medicine professionals by publication of a newsletter and maintenance of a web site
    4. Represent the opinions of the nuclear medicine community to federal regulatory agencies and industry.

  3. The Society of Radiopharmaceutical Sciences (SRS) is an international society providing academic and intellectual support for radiopharmaceutical science. At the heart of all nuclear imaging, radiopharmaceutical science is the design, synthesis and evaluation of compounds containing suitable radionuclides that can be used in vivo to (trace) follow a particular physiological or biochemical phenomena.

  4. Walter Reed Army Medical Center: Lots information and interesting case studies. Also a section on Radiopharmacy (Nuclear Pharmacy) that is worth checking out.
    http://www.wramc.amedd.army.mil/departments/nuclear/

  5. The Society of Nuclear Medicine: an international scientific and professional organization founded in 1954 to promote the science, technology and practical application of nuclear medicine. Its 15,000 members are physicians, technologists and scientists specializing in the research and practice of nuclear medicine. In addition to publishing journals, newsletters and books, the Society also sponsors international meetings and workshops designed to increase the competencies of nuclear medicine practitioners and to promote new advances in the science of nuclear medicine.

  6. A simple tutorial from Stephen Karesh, PhD. Department of Radiology/ Section of Nuclear Medicine of Loyola University in Chicago. Simple introduction with basic explanations.

  7. First published in April 1997, this handbook contains lots of useful information, with a UK focus, on radiopharmaceuticals, associated quality control tests, supplier contacts, and a formulary
    http://www.ukrg.org.uk/rphandbook/radiom.htm
  8. A list of radiopharmaceuticals used in clinical practice with some links to additional information from manufacturers. From the University of Arkansas
    http://nuclearpharmacy.uams.edu/RPLIST.html

  9. The Whole Brain Atlas. More CT images than radionuclide images but the individual cases are interesting since you can pull down individual slices through the brain in an interactive manner or run the brain scans in cine mode. The cases with both radionuclide and MRI also show the use of superimposition where the images from the two methods are overlaid to give even more information.

  10. The Joint Program In Nuclear Medicine Teaching Files. A variety of hot links to teaching materials. Check out the case studies at the bottom of the file.
    http://www.jpnm.org/elr.html
  11. Teaching files from Mallinckrodt. Lots of images using conventional radiopharmaceuticals for diagnosis.
    http://gamma.wustl.edu/home.html

  12. Teaching files from University of North Carolina with nuclear medicine images.
    http://metalab.unc.edu/jksmith/UNC-Radiology-Webserver/NuclearMedicine.html
  13. An electronic textbook. Nuclear Medicine imaging of the GI tract. Lots of case studies and images in a detailed description of this field. More than you will ever need to know!
    http://www.vh.org/Providers/Textbooks/ElectricGiNucs/GINucs.html
  14. Teaching files from Case Western Reserve University Department of Radiology. Some nice high quality images in the teaching files section covering various disease states and techniques.
    http://www.uhrad.com/Default.htm
  15. Teaching files from University of Illinois. Similar to the two above sites but with much less detail.
    http://www.uic.edu/com/uhrd/nucmed/title.htm
  16. An overview of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) with a tutorial that explains in simple terms what the technique is and how it is used for medical imaging.
    http://www.crump.ucla.edu/lpp/lpphome.html

  17. Oklahoma University Health Sciences Center course outline with slides and links for a course on Clinical Nuclear Medicine. Includes some basic radiopharmacy.
