The IAEA has a long history of producing and publishing teaching and training materials in nuclear medicine physics. One example is the Nuclear Medicine Physics Handbook, which provides a comprehensive overview of modern nuclear medicine. Additional training materials, in the form of teaching slides, have been developed for each chapter of the handbook.
