The review is devoted to the physical foundations of nuclear technologies in medicine. Physical ideas used in high-tech medical devices and systems, as well as key milestones in the progress of 'nuclear medicine,' are considered. The history of the emergence of such systems in Russia and worldwide along with healthcare demands are traced, and current development trends are discussed. The system of training relevant personnel is described.
