Abstract

Since the establishment of the Korean Society of Nuclear Medicine (KSNM) in 1961 by Professor Munho Lee, the KSNM has been progressing in various medical fields. Many papers have been published in the Korean Journal of Nuclear Medicine (KJNM), the official journal of KSNM, since 1967 and other domestic/international journals. Here, we tried to highlight the academic activities of KSNM members from the perspective of general nuclear medicine. After the introduction of the 99Mo/99mTc generator, general nuclear medicine has widened the field of clinical application with the advancement of imaging technology and emerging new radiopharmaceuticals; however, there have been many ups and downs. Treatment, as well as diagnosis, was a major concern in Korean nuclear medicine. With the recent advent of single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography, we hope that our old dream (diagnosis and treatment under the same principle of nuclear medicine) comes true.
