The American Board of Nuclear Medicine gave its first certifying examination in 1972 to 1,096 candidates. It was established with the support of the Society of Nuclear Medicine amid considerable conflict involving the American Board of Radiology, the American Board of Internal Medicine, and the American Board of Pathology. As a result of the numerous parties involved, the initial formation of the Board was as a conjoint Board that required the approval of one of its sponsoring Boards for the acceptance of candidates for certification. Conflicting certifications were subsequently established, including the subspecialty certification in Nuclear Radiology by the American Board of Radiology and subspecialty certification in Radioisotopic Pathology by the American Board of Pathology. In 1985, the American Board of Nuclear Medicine was finally relieved of the burden of conjoint Board status and became one of the primary Boards of the American Board of Medical Specialties. There are presently 12 active members of the American Board of Nuclear Medicine, 40 living life members who serve the Board, and 3 deceased life members. As of this date, the Board has certified 4,236 specialists in nuclear medicine and continues to grow and thrive.
美国核医学委员会于1972年首次对1096名考生进行了认证考试。它是在核医学协会的支持下成立的，当时涉及美国放射学会、美国内科医学委员会和美国病理学委员会之间存在相当大的冲突。由于涉及众多方面，委员会最初作为一个联合委员会成立，需要其一个发起委员会批准才能接受认证候选人。随后出现了相互冲突的认证，包括美国放射学会的核放射学亚专业认证和美国病理学委员会的放射性同位素病理学亚专业认证。1985年，美国核医学委员会最终摆脱了联合委员会的地位，成为美国医学专业委员会的主要委员会之一。目前，美国核医学委员会有12名在职成员、40名服务于该委员会的在世终身成员和3名已故终身成员。截至目前，该委员会已认证了4236名核医学专家，并且仍在不断发展壮大。
