The expansion of knowledge and technological advances in nuclear medicine and radiology require physicians to have more expertise in functional and anatomic imaging. The convergence of these two specialties into the new discipline of molecular imaging has also begun to place demands on residency training programs for additional instruction in physiology and molecular biology. These changes have unmasked weaknesses in current nuclear medicine and radiology training programs. Adding to the impetus for change are the attendant realities of the job market and uncertain employment prospects for physicians trained in nuclear medicine but not also trained in diagnostic radiology. With this background, the ACR and the Society of Nuclear Medicine convened the Task Force on Nuclear Medicine Training to define the issues and develop recommendations for resident training.
核医学和放射学领域的知识扩展和技术进步要求医生在功能和解剖成像方面具有更多专业知识。这两个专业的融合已开始将更多的生理学和分子生物学教学纳入住院医师培训计划，这也对其提出了要求。这些变化暴露了当前核医学和放射学培训计划的弱点。此外，由于核医学医师的就业市场现实情况以及就业前景不确定，也促使了变化的发生，而他们没有接受过放射诊断学方面的培训。有鉴于此，ACR 和核医学学会召集了核医学培训工作组，以确定问题并为住院医师培训提出建议。
