Quick Answer

The atlas is written in original prose from public primary literature and society guidelines, grades the strength of every substantive clinical claim, and moves each page through a defined path from drafted to independently reviewed. This page states the standards a page must meet so the resource can be judged, trusted, and corrected transparently.

Sourcing

Content is compiled from peer-reviewed primary literature, society guidelines and procedure standards, and product labelling — expressed in original wording and original vector figures. The atlas reproduces no copyrighted text or images. Where a specific claim rests on a particular study or guideline, that source is cited on the page, and any DOI is verified to resolve to the stated paper before it is added — citations are never guessed.

Evidence grading

Every substantive clinical statement carries a grade so a reader can weigh it:

• A — a randomized trial or meta-analysis of randomized trials.
• B — a large cohort (roughly >400 patients) or a society guideline / procedure standard.
• C — a smaller or confounded cohort, or physiologic reasoning without outcome data.
• INF — not a grade. It marks a conclusion reached by reasoning where no study addresses the question directly, so inference is never disguised as evidence.

Review workflow

Each page displays a review-status badge and a last-updated date. AI-drafted marks a page compiled from public sources but not yet independently checked by a subject-matter expert; Physician-reviewed marks a page a nuclear medicine physician has verified. The status is deliberately visible so a reader always knows the standard of assurance behind a page, and so the resource can advance page-by-page from drafted to reviewed over time rather than making a single unverifiable claim about the whole.

Independence

The atlas is editorially independent. It is not sponsored, and no company, society, or individual pays for coverage or influences conclusions. Where the field's commercial context is relevant — for example an industry profile of a major theranostics manufacturer — it is presented as descriptive context, clearly labelled, not endorsement, and drug and product names are used only for identification. The atlas carries no advertising.

Corrections

A confirmed error is corrected promptly: the fix is applied, the page's last-updated date is advanced, and substantive changes are recorded in the version history. Reports are triaged against the primary literature and current guidance, and the grading and DOI-verification rules apply to any new claim exactly as they do to original content. Accuracy is treated as a shared responsibility — see Feedback & Corrections to report an issue.
