Integrated and high-quality development is the goal and direction of China's nuclear medicine development in the future
       At the beginning of the meeting, a number of participants delivered speeches. Cao Xirong, chairman of the China Primary Health Care Foundation, pointed out that the development of nuclear medicine in China has gone through a process from scratch and from small to large, although China's nuclear medicine has made significant progress, but compared with developed countries, there are still gaps and deficiencies in China's nuclear medicine. The "National Pilot Project for the High-quality Development and Talent Training of Nuclear Medicine" will help promote the wide application and sustainable development of nuclear medicine technology and improve the quality and level of nuclear medicine in China.
       Professor Wang Jing, Chairman of the Nuclear Medicine Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and Professor of Xijing Hospital, first expressed warm congratulations on the launch of the "National Nuclear Medicine Department High-quality Development and Talent Training Pilot Project". Professor Wang Jing said that the "National Pilot Project for the High-quality Development and Talent Training of Nuclear Medicine" is of great and far-reaching significance. At present, it is the peak period of the development of nuclear medicine, and nuclear medicine has ushered in the spring of development. In the case of a good top-level design, it is necessary to make up for the shortcomings of the current development of nuclear medicine from different angles and different levels, build a training pilot project with practical operation ability, and more importantly, drive the actual improvement of specific nuclear medicine operators. Professor Wang Jing emphasized that the high-quality development of nuclear medicine integration is the goal and direction that needs to be worked on for the project launch and future implementation.
       Wang Xiaobing, director of the Public Health Professional Committee of the China Primary Health Care Foundation, pointed out that since its establishment, the Public Health Professional Committee of the China Primary Health Care Foundation has been vigorously supporting the strengthening of the construction of clinical specialties, promoting medical technology innovation, medical service model innovation, smart hospital construction and hospital informatization standardization construction, continuously optimizing the performance appraisal system, and focusing on the sustainable development of hospital quality operation effect.
Exploration of PET application path for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease
       Professor Guan Yihui pointed out that China is the largest country with Alzheimer's disease, which brings a heavy burden to society and patients' families. The focus of Alzheimer's disease diagnosis and treatment should be shifted from the dementia stage to the MCI stage or even the preclinical stage, and early diagnosis and early treatment are the key to the management of Alzheimer's disease. The proposal of the ATN framework in 2018 promoted the clinical application of positron emission tomography (PET) in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, and increased the importance of molecular imaging in the diagnosis of neurological diseases. Compared with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), positron emission tomography (PET) brain imaging has many advantages, such as strong stability, high specificity, quantitative characterization of pathological burden and display of pathological spatial distribution.
       Professor Guan Yihui introduced in detail the specific work and plan of the Huashan Nuclear Nerve Training Course of the "National Nuclear Medicine High-quality Development and Talent Training Pilot Project". Professor Guan Yihui said that he hoped that through this project, he could establish the Chinese diagnostic standards and quality control standards for Aβ-PET, standardize the clinical operation and correct reading of Aβ-PET, improve the proficiency of the nuclear medicine department in the operation process of Aβ-PET, increase the experience of use to improve the accuracy and efficiency of diagnosis, and strive to make the project a sustainable and sustainable development project, and finally realize the improvement of the quality and quantity of neuronuclear medicine in China.
Strengthen multidisciplinary exchanges to promote the high-quality development of nuclear heart
       Professor Sun Xiaoxin pointed out that nuclear medicine has rich clinical application experience in the field of heart, but there is a large gap between China's actual clinical application and foreign countries, and homogeneity and high quality are the main problems facing the development of nuclear heart in China. At present, as far as revascularization is concerned, the evaluation of anatomical stenosis alone can no longer well meet the clinical needs, and the status of functional evaluation is getting higher and higher. However, the cognitive gap between nuclear medicine and cardiology hinders the clinical application of nuclear medicine-related technologies in cardiology.
       Professor Sun Xiaoxin said that we need to have an open mind and develop a standardized process to make the development of nuclear cardiology sustainable. It is hoped that through the construction of the operation center and training base, the overall diagnosis and treatment technology and service ability of the nuclear medicine department will be improved, the communication between the nuclear medicine department and related clinical departments will be deepened, and the high-quality development of the discipline will be promoted.
Professor Mi Hongzhi
Professor Zhang Haiqin
       Subsequently, Professor Mi Hongzhi from Beijing Anzhen Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University and Professor Zhang Haiqin from Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University delivered speeches on behalf of the training center. Professor Mi Hongzhi said that the standardized operation of clinical testing should be the primary content of training. Secondly, how to communicate between nuclear medicine and clinical disciplines to improve clinical recognition of nuclear medicine is also an important part of the training. Professor Zhang Haiqin pointed out that nuclear medicine is becoming more and more important in today's medical field, providing a new means for clinical diagnosis and treatment. The "National Pilot Project for the High-quality Development and Talent Training of Nuclear Medicine" provides a platform for nuclear medicine doctors across the country to learn and Xi and grow, and promotes the improvement of nuclear medicine doctors' operation level and diagnosis and treatment service capabilities by carrying out various training activities, organizing academic conferences, and sharing experience and technology.
       Dr. Li Ji from Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology delivered a speech on behalf of the trainees. Dr. Li Ji said that most clinicians are still in the cognitive stage of "half-understanding" of myocardial perfusion imaging. There is still a long way to go to change the perception of the nuclear heart among cardiovascular physicians. In addition, how to improve the standardization level of doctors and technicians is also an important issue at present.
       Mr. Wang Xin, Medical Marketing Director of Xiantong Pharmaceutical, made a speech as a representative of caring enterprises. Mr. Wang Xin said that Xiantong Pharma is an innovative pharmaceutical company and has been paying close attention to the development of nuclear medicine. Xiantong Pharma actively participates in various academic projects and hopes to contribute to the development of the field of nuclear medicine.
       At the end of the meeting, Professor Wang Jing, Chairman of the Nuclear Medicine Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and Professor of Xijing Hospital, made a wonderful summary of the content of the meeting. Professor Wang Jing said that the most important thing in the development of nuclear medicine is the large cycle of government, industry, academia and joint use, and the "National Pilot Project for High-quality Development and Talent Training of Nuclear Medicine" is exactly in line with such a cycle. In order to better promote the development of the project, the SOP of the training center should be formulated to make the project more standardized, and at the same time, it should be able to take care of the region as much as possible, so as to achieve the high-quality development of nuclear medicine in different regions and different fields. At present, the development of nuclear medicine in China is still facing great challenges and bottlenecks, so we should aim farther and stand higher, so that the project can contribute to the development of the entire nuclear medicine industry, not only limited to the number of talents. Finally, Professor Wang Jing pointed out that he believes that with the help of the talent exchange service center of the National Health Commission and the China Primary Health Care Foundation, it will help the development and talent training of nuclear medicine in China, and he also wishes that nuclear medicine will have a better tomorrow.
