A History of Radionuclide Studies in the UK : 50th Anniversary of the British Nuclear Medicine Society

---

A history of UK radionuclide studies reveals pioneering work from George von Hevesy in Manchester (1911) through to modern PET/MR, with key developments including early homemade scanners (Mallard, Mayneord), GFR measurement, radioimmunoassay, SPECT/CT, and advanced brain imaging (FDG, amyloid). Driven by medical physicists and later clinicians, the field progressed from tracer studies (I-131, Tc-99m) to sophisticated diagnostics and therapies (Sr-89, FDG), supported by bodies like the BNMS, establishing the UK as a major contributor to nuclear medicine's evolution.
