THE PRACTICE OF NUCLEAR-MEDICINE IN COMMON-MARKET COUNTRIES

There is no politically structured European policy on nuclear medicine, and there are significant discrepancies between the various member states. It is hard to guess whether competing imaging modalities will slow down the process of development that took place in underequipped countries. But it appears likely that with the free circulation of professionals between European Community countries, free competition will stimulate these countries toward major development in nuclear medicine. © 1993 W.B.
