Molecular imaging resources: journal articles

This section contains a selection of journal articles aimed to support trainees in their studies and provide additional resources for anyone interested in the development of clinical services in molecular and hybrid imaging. While many of the recommended articles are free to view and download through their respective web pages, others can be accessed through institutional (university) or OpenAthens (NHS) accounts. To register for an OpenAthens account please contact your local NHS library or visit the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) website at https://openathens.nice.org.uk
