I grew up in a household with working parents and I do not resent them for it. Households like these give children a sense of…

medical boards were formed as a result, such as the American Board of Nuclear Medicine, and the American Osteopathic Board of Nuclear Medicine. Nuclear medicine was cemented as a stand alone specialty in 1974. Imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) were developed in the 1980’s by David E. Kuhl and Roy Edwards. The invention of the PET also led to the invention of other imaging techniques such as SPECT and CT…
