Perception of the role of nuclear medicine in clinical practice in Nigeria.

چکیده
From the Newsline editor: Across the globe, the practice of nuclear medicine depends on the sometimes difficult-toachieve confluence of skilled practitioners, specialized equipment, and readily available supplies of short-lived radionuclides. As a result of variations in each of these crucial elements, the practice of nuclear medicine can be quite different from one region of the world to another and even across very narrow geographic and political divides. Newsline welcomes international reports on nuclear medicine and molecular imaging. This month we are privileged to include insights from colleagues in Nigeria on clinicians’ perceptions of the utility of radioisotope-based techniques when these were introduced into the country in 2006.
