Multidisciplinary Advances in Nuclear Medicine for Non-Communicable Diseases

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including cancer, cardiovascular, metabolic, respiratory, and neurodegenerative disorders, remain leading causes of global morbidity and mortality. Addressing these conditions requires integrated, multidisciplinary approaches that combine clinical medicine, imaging sciences, pharmacology, data science, and healthcare systems.

Nuclear medicine plays a pivotal role within this framework by enabling precise diagnosis, risk stratification, treatment planning, and response assessment. Advances in molecular imaging and theranostics increasingly support collaboration between oncologists, cardiologists, neurologists, radiologists, medical physicists, radiochemists, and allied health professionals, facilitating more coordinated and patient-centered care.

This Article Collection focuses on the multidisciplinary applications of molecular imaging and targeted radionuclide therapy in NCDs, highlighting how cross-disciplinary integration improves diagnostic accuracy, therapeutic decision-making, and clinical outcomes. Emphasis is placed on clinically translatable research, quantitative imaging, and innovations that bridge laboratory science and real-world healthcare delivery.

Topics of interest include:

• Molecular imaging in cardiovascular and metabolic diseases
• Targeted radionuclide therapy in oncology and integrated cancer care
• Neuroimaging approaches in neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders
• Musculoskeletal and rheumatologic imaging in clinical practice
• Renal imaging and systemic disease assessment
• Radiotracer development and translational research
• Multidisciplinary care pathways, health systems integration, and global trends

We welcome original research, reviews, perspectives, and commentaries that demonstrate clear multidisciplinary relevance.
