The following is based on an article entitled, "Nuclear Medicine Educational Resources on the Internet" by A. F. Scarsbrook, A. Ganeshan, and K. M. Bradley, Departments of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, United Kingdom

Metalink Sites:
These sites display a large number of links to various web-based resources.

• www.nucmedlinks.com (Portal to wide variety of educational and training resources in the fields of radionuclide radiology and nuclear medicine)
• http://www.auntminnie.com/index.asp?sec=ref&sub=ncm (Nuclear Medicine Resources from Aunt Minnie web site with links categorized by body system)

Technique Based Web Sites:
These sites are devoted to one type of radionuclide imaging modality.

• http://www.ctisus.com (Comprehensive web site with teaching cases, tutorials and imaging pearls of wisdom from the field of multislice CT including a section on PET-CT. Created by The Advanced Medical Imaging Laboratory, Dept. of Radiology at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions in Baltimore)
• http://www.brighamrad.harvard.edu/education/online/Cardiac/main.html (From the Harvard Medical School in Boston focusing on Myocardial scintigraphy. Includes over 70 cases graded according to difficulty and can be viewed as unknown test cases.)
• http://www.brighamrad.harvard.edu/education/online/BrainSPECT/BrSPECT.html (From Harvard Medical School focusing on brain scintigraphy. Includes collection of teaching files and tutorials. Tutorials include normal brain anatomy, normal SPECT studies, instrumentation, protocols and radiopharmaceuticals.)

Sub-specialty Web Sites:
These sites are devoted to functional systems of the body and their imaging by various radionuclide modalities.

• www.asnc.org/index.cfm (American Society of Nuclear Cardiology - key topics, case of the month archive, links to other sites)
• http://www.vh.org/adult/provider/radiology/ElectricGiNucs/GINucs.html (Virtual Hospital web site developed by the University of Iowa discussing radionuclide imaging of the gastrointestinal system)
• http://www.medical-atlas.org/ (An atlas of pediatric bone scintigraphy organized by body region)
• http://oracle.crump.ucla.edu:8001/pet/pba/ (developed by the Crump Institute of Molecular Imaging on PET imaging of the Brain)

Teaching Files:
A few of the larger and better collections of teaching files. Teaching files include a clinical history from a real case and the associated imaging. Often you can set the site not to display the diagnosis so you can test yourself.

• http://gamma.wustl.edu/home.html (Long-established web site from the Division of Nuclear Medicine at the Mallinkrodt Institute of Radiology, St Louis. Extensive library of hundreds of cases emcompassing the full gamut of radionuclide imaging techniques. Excellent image quality. Very useful and highly impressive)
• http://oracle.crump.ucla.edu:8001/pet/NM-Mediabook/index.tcl (Nuclear medicine digital imaging file from the Crump Institute of Molecular Imaging in Los Angeles. Files can be viewed by organ, system, radiotracer, disorder or as unknowns. The site also contains an informative whole body PET atlas and protocols for a wide variety of Nuclear Medicine techniques.)
• http://www.jpnm.org/elr.html (From Nuclear Medicine divisions of the Harvard Medical School Teaching Hospitals. Approx. 100 cases with good image quality can be viewed by diagnosis or as unknowns. Also contains a useful presentation on normal and benign pathologic findings at 18FDG - PET/CT and a page with numerous links to other Nuclear Medicine we-based resources.
• http://www.ruh-bath.swest.nhs.uk/departments/medical_physics/nuclear_medicine/
  training/training_home_page.htm (From Royal United Hospital in Bath, UK. Approximately 40 cases covering bone, renal, endocrine and oncological radionuclide radiology.
• http://www.rad.kumc.edu/nucmed/ (From the University of Kansas Hospital including 24 PET & 33 nuclear medicine cases with reasonable discussion. Also contains a number of links to other useful web sites of interest to Nuclear Medicine professionals)
• http://www.uhrad.com (From the University of Cleveland including 34 nuclear medicine cases and a few PET cases with reasonable discussion. Also contains number of other radiological teaching files. Cases can't be viewed as unknowns.)

Other Interesting Web Sites:

• http://www.ami-imaging.org/ (The Academy of Molecular Imaging web site. Contains educational resources including recommended textbooks, details of PET fellowships, and membership details. Free membership to residents which allows a 20% discount on PET training courses and other resources)
• http://www.icnmp.edu.mx/house.html (International College of Nuclear Medicine Physicians web site. Includes cases including PET, cardiology, nephrology/urology, neurology/psychiatry, bone, thyroid, brain, oncology and gastrointestinal nuclear medicine cases. Extensive list of links to other Nuclear Medicine web sites)
