The recent development and approval of new diagnostic imaging and therapy approaches in the field of theranostics have revolutionised nuclear medicine practice. To ensure the provision of these new imaging and therapy approaches in a safe and high-quality manner, training of nuclear medicine physicians and qualified specialists is paramount. This is required for trainees who are learning theranostics practice, and for ensuring minimum standards for knowledge and competency in existing practising specialists.
To address the need for a training curriculum in theranostics that would be utilised at a global level, a Consultancy Meeting was held at the IAEA in May 2023, with participation by experts in radiopharmaceutical therapy and theranostics including representatives of major international organisations relevant to theranostics practice.
Through extensive discussions and review of existing curriculum and guidelines, a harmonised training program for theranostics was developed, which aims to ensure safe and high quality theranostics practice in all countries.
The guiding principles for theranostics training outlined in this paper have immediate relevance for the safe and effective practice of theranostics.
治疗诊断学领域中新的诊断成像和治疗方法的最新发展和批准彻底改变了核医学实践。为了确保以安全和高质量的方式提供这些新的成像和治疗方法，核医学医师和合格专家的培训至关重要。这对于学习治疗诊断学实践的学员以及确保现有从业专家在知识和能力方面达到最低标准都是必需的。
为了满足在全球范围内使用的治疗诊断学培训课程的需求，2023 年 5 月在国际原子能机构举行了一次咨询会议，来自放射性药物治疗和治疗诊断学的专家参加了会议，包括与治疗诊断学实践相关的主要国际组织的代表。
通过广泛的讨论和对现有课程和指南的审查，制定了一个协调的治疗诊断学培训方案，旨在确保所有国家都能安全、高质量地开展治疗诊断学实践。
本文概述的治疗诊断学培训指导原则与治疗诊断学的安全有效实践直接相关。
