nuclear medicine introduction nuclear medicine basics since the discovery of x-rays in 1895 by röntgen and uranium radioactivity in 1896 by becquerel the use of ionizing radiation in medicine has undergone fascinating development nuclear medicine started in 1937 with the first clinical use of artificial radioactivity for treating a patient with leukemia today there are nearly one hundred different nuclear medicine procedures that provide information about virtually every major organ system within the body modern computer based techniques such as pet positron emission tomography and spect single photon emission computed tomography offer methods for diagnostic imaging that are unique by documenting dynamic organ function and structure pet is rapidly becoming a major diagnostic imaging modality pet images demonstrate the chemistry of organs and other tissues such as tumors a radiopharmaceutical especially fdg fluorodeoxyglucose marked with the positron emitting isotope 18f is injected
