Abstract

Since its inception in 2012, the Nuclear Medicine Global Initiative (NMGI) of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging has played an important role in addressing significant challenges in the field of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging. The first 3 projects were dedicated to standardizing pediatric nuclear medicine practices, addressing the global challenges of radionuclide access and availability, and assessing the educational and training initiatives on theranostics across the globe. These efforts aimed to advance human health, foster worldwide educational collaboration, and standardize procedural guidelines to enhance quality and safety in nuclear medicine practice. In its latest project, NMGI aimed to develop a unified nomenclature for systemic radionuclide therapy in nuclear medicine, addressing the diverse terminology currently used. An online survey was distributed to NMGI member organizations, drawing participation from various geographical locations and disciplines. The survey anonymously collected responses from physicians, physicists, scientists, radiopharmacists, radiopharmaceutical scientists, dosimetrists, technologists, and nurse managers, totaling 240 responses from 30 countries. Findings revealed a prevailing use of the term targeted radionuclide therapy for radionuclide therapy, with 52% of respondents expressing a preference for this term. In contrast, approximately 37% favored “radiopharmaceutical therapy,” whereas 11% favored “molecular radionuclide therapy.” Other key terms under the umbrella of targeted radionuclide therapy were also discussed to achieve a consensus on terminology. NMGI efforts to standardize terminology in this dynamic and fluid field should improve communication within the field, better reflect the technology used, enable comparison of results, and ultimately lead to improved patient outcomes.

放射性核素治疗共识命名法:核医学全球倡议的初步建议
自2012年成立以来,核医学与分子成像学会的核医学全球倡议(NMGI)在应对核医学和分子成像领域的重大挑战方面发挥了重要作用。前3个项目致力于儿科核医学实践的标准化,应对放射性核素获取和可用性方面的全球挑战,并评估全球治疗学的教育和培训举措。这些努力旨在促进人类健康,促进世界范围的教育合作,并使程序准则标准化,以提高核医学实践的质量和安全。在其最新项目中,NMGI旨在为核医学中的全身放射性核素治疗制定统一的命名法,解决目前使用的各种术语。向NMGI成员组织分发了一份在线调查,吸引了来自不同地理位置和学科的参与。该调查匿名收集了来自30个国家的医生、物理学家、科学家、放射药理学家、放射药理学家、剂量测定师、技术专家和护士管理人员的回复,共计240份回复。调查结果显示,放射性核素治疗普遍使用靶向放射性核素治疗这一术语,52%的受访者表示更喜欢这一术语。相比之下,大约37%的人赞成“放射性药物治疗”,而11%的人赞成“分子放射性核素治疗”。还讨论了放射性核素靶向治疗下的其他关键术语,以便就术语达成共识。NMGI在这一动态和流体领域中标准化术语的努力应能改善领域内的交流,更好地反映所使用的技术,使结果能够比较,并最终改善患者的治疗效果。
