The introduction of hybrid imaging modalities such as combined positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET-CT) has altered image analysis and reporting as well as the expectations of the referring physicians. The training in multimodality imaging is unsatisfactory at the moment because no specialisation is adequate for full analysis of the resulting image data. In the recent "White paper of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) and the European Society of Radiology (ESR) on multimodality imaging", ways to adjust training opportunities and, thus, to improve the situation were proposed. We think that action is urgently required in order to provide optimal training in multimodality imaging.
Training in both nuclear medicine and diagnostic radiology should be restructured to allow for optional integrated training in multimodality imaging while maintaining the depth and detail of the individual specialties.
We propose criteria for the training in multimodality imaging that can be implemented locally and fast without precluding a yet to be defined regulatory framework.
正电子发射断层扫描与计算机断层扫描（PET-CT）等混合成像模式的引入改变了图像分析与报告，以及转诊医生的期望。目前，多模态成像方面的培训并不令人满意，因为没有哪一种专业足以对生成的图像数据进行全面分析。在欧洲核医学协会（EANM）和欧洲放射学会（ESR）最近关于多模态成像的“白皮书”中，提出了调整培训机会从而改善这种状况的方法。我们认为迫切需要采取行动，以便提供多模态成像的最佳培训。
核医学和诊断放射学的培训都应进行重组，以便在保持各专业深度和细节的同时，提供多模态成像的可选综合培训。
我们提出了多模态成像培训的标准，这些标准可在当地迅速实施，同时不排除尚未确定的监管框架。
