This paper is the first in a series of invited perspectives by pioneers of nuclear medicine imaging and physics. A medical physicist and a nuclear medicine physician each take a backward and a forward look at the contributions of physics to nuclear medicine. Here, we provide a forward look from the medical physicist's perspective.
The author examines a number of developments in nuclear medicine and discusses the ways in which physics has contributed to these. Future developments are postulated in the context of an increasingly personalised approach to medical diagnostics and therapies.
A skill set for the next generation of medical physicists in nuclear medicine is proposed in the context of the increasing complexity of 'Molecular Imaging' in the next three decades. The author sees a shift away from 'traditional' roles in instrumentation QA to more innovative approaches in understanding radiobiology and human disease.
本文是核医学成像与物理学领域先驱者受邀发表的系列观点文章中的第一篇。一位医学物理学家和一位核医学医师分别回顾了物理学对核医学的贡献并展望未来。在此，我们从医学物理学家的视角进行展望。
作者审视了核医学的一些发展，并探讨了物理学对这些发展的贡献方式。在医学诊断和治疗日益个性化的背景下，对未来发展进行了推测。
鉴于未来三十年“分子成像”日益复杂的情况，提出了下一代核医学医学物理学家所需的技能组合。作者认为将从仪器质量保证方面的“传统”角色转向理解放射生物学和人类疾病的更具创新性的方法。
