Frequently Asked Questions

Quick Answer

The Nuclear Medicine Atlas is a free, independent, continuously maintained reference for nuclear medicine — built to be exhaustive enough for a practising physician and high-yield enough for a resident preparing for boards. It is educational, not medical advice, and every substantive clinical claim is graded for evidence strength. The most common questions are answered below.

Who is this for?

Practising nuclear medicine physicians and radiologists, residents and fellows preparing for boards, medical students on rotation, technologists, and physicists — anyone who needs a fast, graded, cross-linked reference. A high-yield reading mode collapses each page to its essentials for cram-style study, while the full text serves the reader who needs depth.

Is it free?

Yes. The atlas is free to read and carries no advertising.

Is this medical advice?

No. It is an educational and reference resource. It does not establish a physician–patient relationship and must not be the sole basis for any diagnostic or treatment decision. Clinical decisions remain the responsibility of the treating physician, using independent judgment and local protocol. See the Disclaimer & Terms of Use.

How current is it, and how is the evidence graded?

Each page shows a last-updated date and carries graded claims: A (randomized evidence), B (large cohort or society guideline), C (smaller/confounded data or physiologic reasoning), and INF for reasoned inference where no study addresses the question directly. The fastest-changing facts — approvals, doses, trial results — are concentrated deliberately so the stable core moves rarely. Full detail is on About & Methodology and Editorial Policy.

Can I use it offline?

Yes. The atlas is a single self-contained file and installs as an app (PWA), so once loaded it works without a connection. Your study progress is stored on your own device — see Privacy & Data.

Can I cite it?

Yes — each page has a stable permalink and an explicit version. See How to Cite for ready-to-paste formats.

Why are there few images?

The atlas is being built image-by-image with figures that are original or licence-clean; real patient scans are added only with proper permissions, and each will carry descriptive alt text. Until then, the emphasis is on graded prose, decision logic, and tables — the parts that carry the reasoning.

How do I report an error or contribute?

Use the "Report an issue" link at the foot of any page, or see Feedback & Corrections. If you are a physician or scientist who would like to author a contributed review, the Author Guide explains the process and the standards.

Is it affiliated with any company?

No — the atlas is editorially independent and unsponsored. Where commercial context matters it is labelled as description, not endorsement. See Editorial Policy.
