Abstract

The development of domestic nuclear medicine necessitates the development and systematization of the most frequently used terms with scientifically based interpretation of their respective concepts. It is important to ensure the correct and unambiguous interpretation of the terms not only by professionals in the field of nuclear medicine, but also by specialists in related fields of knowledge. A short glossary of terms in nuclear medicine is presented, which contains all the most frequently used terms in this field and explanations for each of them, adapted for all the above specialists.

Key words: nuclear medicine, terminology, glossary
