In nuclear medicine, theranostics is a burgeoning development that is rapidly being implemented worldwide. There is an increasing need to provide a multidisciplinary framework to the practice of theranostics, ensuring that patients receive this treatment safely and are secure in the knowledge that their health-care practitioners are adequately trained. Nuclear medicine experts in Australia have taken the initiative of producing a set of theranostic guidelines relevant to Australian medical practice. These guidelines encompass specialist qualifications, patient care, radiopharmaceutical production, radiation safety, and dosimetry. We propose adaptation of these guidelines by other countries, and we promote standards of practice leading to optimal clinical outcomes for patients receiving theranostic treatments.
在核医学中，治疗诊断学是一个迅速在全球范围内得到应用的新兴领域。为了确保患者安全地接受这种治疗，并确信他们的医疗保健从业者接受了充分的培训，需要为治疗诊断学的实践提供一个多学科框架。澳大利亚的核医学专家已经主动制定了一套与澳大利亚医疗实践相关的治疗诊断学指南。这些指南包括专业资格、患者护理、放射性药物生产、辐射安全和剂量测定。我们建议其他国家采用这些指南，并促进实践标准，为接受治疗诊断学治疗的患者带来最佳的临床效果。
