In recent years, fierce competition has developed between the new high technology specialties of ultrasound, nuclear medicine, computerized transmission tomography, and most recently, nuclear magnetic resonance. Conventional brain scintigraphy, once the most common nuclear medicine procedure, has fallen victim to this rivalry despite the fact that routine scintigraphy remains a good diagnostic test. The agony of this defeat initially caused self-doubt among nuclear medicine physicians, but out of this gloom has emerged a number of radionuclide tests which have the potential to revolutionize how clinical neurology/psychiatry is practiced.
近年来，超声、核医学、计算机断层扫描以及最近的核磁共振等高新技术专业之间展开了激烈竞争。传统的脑闪烁扫描术曾是最常见的核医学检查方法，尽管常规闪烁扫描仍是一种很好的诊断测试，但它却在这场竞争中败下阵来。这种失败带来的痛苦最初使核医学医生产生了自我怀疑，但在这种阴霾中，出现了一些放射性核素检测方法，它们有可能彻底改变临床神经学/精神病学的实践方式。
