specialty of nuclear medicine is living and well. The number of scientific presentations at the annual meeting of the Society of Nuclear Medicine (SNM) in the United States has increased linearly over the past half century. The excitement and progress resulting from the application of the tra-cer principle in living human beings continues. Oncology is still the major topic in nuclear medicine, ...

Every human being is different based on genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Novel medical technologies have become more precise owing to molecular information, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc. The “omics” technologies have opened up new horizons for healthcare systems, enabling them to prevent and/or diagnose diseases more precisel...

A revolution in biology and medicine is taking place as a direct consequence of rapid developments in the field of molecular biology. The tremendous advances in our knowledge of basic molecular genetics and cell biology have opened the door for new methods of diagnosis, assessment of individual susceptibility to disease, and elucidation of the pathogenesis of disease. These advances will have a...
