Abstract(s)
Nuclear Medicine is an independent medical specialty for almost fifty years. If
that is quite clear and widely accepted, being in the basis and the justification for specialization
between the distinct professionals involved, in many countries there is one exception: the
Technologists. Since, in some countries, Nuclear Medicine is part of Medical Imaging area
(which could include different specialties such as Radiology or Ultrasonography and, in a more
restrict number of countries, even Radiotherapy), the “versatility” of Technologists might be
somehow appreciated by some of the parts involved. Nevertheless, there are critical issues
that need to be addressed - like the ability and capacity to perform distinct Practices at a
certain level of autonomy and responsibility - and the final positions might be very distinct
from one to another country.
