About us

The diagnosis of many diseases and the treatment of cancer are nowadays unthinkable without nuclear medicine. Behind the production of a nuclear scan or the use of radionuclide therapy lies an entire ecosystem in which hospitals and industry work closely together — from the production of radioisotopes and radiopharmaceuticals to their eventual application in the clinic.

The Netherlands is a global leader in nuclear medicine, thanks to its production of medical radioisotopes, high level of expertise, and a broad sector of companies active in the nuclear domain. The field is currently developing rapidly, particularly through new therapeutic applications. The recently published report “Analysis of the Dutch Nuclear Medicine Ecosystem” identifies human capital as one of the key challenges for further growth. However, much of the education in this field is fragmented, while emerging developments make continuous professional education and training increasingly necessary.
