Nuclear medicine is a recognised clinical specialty both nationally and internationally. Compared with other countries, it is inadequately developed in Britain, particularly in district general hospitals. To create clinical radioisotope services at district level physicians or radiologists with experience in nuclear medicine need to be trained and appointed. Such appointments would allow facilities to evolve that would provide either a comprehensive nuclear medicine service formed around a physician or an imaging service based on a radiologist. Such units would improve the care of patients at a reasonable recurring cost of 15 pounds--30 pounds per investigation.
核医学在国内和国际上都是公认的临床专业。与其他国家相比，它在英国发展不足，尤其是在地区综合医院。为了在地区层面建立临床放射性同位素服务，需要培训并任命有核医学经验的内科医生或放射科医生。这样的任命将促使相关设施不断发展，从而提供以医生为核心的全面核医学服务，或者以放射科医生为基础的成像服务。这样的科室将以每次检查15英镑至30英镑的合理经常性成本改善患者护理。
