On the 270th Anniversary of the M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU). Instruments and methods of investigation


Nuclear physics technologies in medicine

†  a, b
a Lomonosov Moscow State University, Faculty of Physics, Vorobevy gory, Moscow, 119899, Russian Federation
b Lomonosov Moscow State University, Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics, Leninskie Gory 1 build. 2, Moscow, 119991, Russian Federation

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.
