This European Nuclear Medicine Guide is a joint project by the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) and the Nuclear Medicine Section of UEMS and European Board of Nuclear Medicine (UEMS/EBNM).

Its aim is to provide a comprehensive, yet concise, overview and description of the nuclear medicine related basic science and technical procedures including in vivo imaging with radiopharmaceuticals, hybrid/multimodality imaging, radionuclide-guided surgery, dosimetry, radionuclide therapy, techniques related to nuclear physics in medicine, as well as the medical applications of radiobiology and radiation protection.

The Training Requirements for the Specialty of Nuclear Medicine, defined by the UEMS Section and European Board of Nuclear Medicine and fully endorsed by the UEMS, have been used as backbone for the content of this nuclear medicine guide.
