[Molecular imaging and molecular guided therapy].

AIM AND METHOD: Scientific publications in the journal of Nuklearmedizin Molecular Imaging and Therapy during 2004/2005 were retrospectively examined for their potential classification to molecular imaging or molecular guided therapy, functional imaging and therapy, and were compared to earlier analyses. RESULTS: Of the 57 original papers examined, 36 (63%) were assigned to the category of molecular imaging/molecular guided therapy. Within this category, the number of original papers on molecular guided therapy increased by 19% compared to preceding periods. There was a general overall increase in the proportion of experimental papers and more frequent inclusion of basic background subjects. CONCLUSION: The development of molecular imaging as a direct instrument in therapy planning leads to further promotion of molecular guided therapy. The structural advantage of nuclear medicine, uniting method-lead diagnosis and therapy within one specialist subject, predestines it to advance molecular imaging and molecular guided therapy.

[Nuclear medicine: medical technology research].

UNLABELLED: AIM, METHOD: The scientific publications in the 2003 and 2004 issues of the journal Nuklearmedizin were analyzed retrospectively with regard to the proportion of medical technology research. RESULTS: Out of a total of 73 articles examined, 9 (12%) were classified as medical technology research, that is, 8/15 of the original papers (16%) and one of the case reports (5%). Of these 9 articles, 44% (4/9) focused on the combination of molecular and morphological imaging with direct technical appliance or information technology solutions. CONCLUSION: Medical technology research is limited in the journal's catchment area. The reason for this is related to the interdependency between divergent development dynamics in the medical technology industry's locations, the many years that the area of scintigraphic technology has been underrepresented, research policy particularly in discrepancies in the promotion of molecular imaging and a policy in which health is not perceived as a predominantly good and positive economic factor, but more as a curb to economic development.

[Information technology and nuclear medicine. Primary digitalized data--and then?].

UNLABELLED: AIM, METHOD: The scientific publications in the 2002 and 2003 issues of the journal Nuklearmedizin. Journal of Functional and Molecular Imaging were analyzed retrospectively with regard to the development of information technology methods. RESULTS: Out of a total of 72 original papers and case reports 9 (11%) were classified having information technology as their subject, 5 (56%) of them the fusion of molecular and morphological imaging. Researchers from medical specialities other than nuclear medicine were co-authors in 7 (78%) of the 9 articles, out of the 8 original papers 4 (50%) were prospective studies. Of the 59 original papers, 28 (47%) were predominantly dedicated to methodological development; 46/59 (78%) of them were clinical studies and 2 (3%) experimental research. CONCLUSION: Although a high proportion of the papers were dedicated to methodological development, the proportion dedicated to development of information technology methods was relatively low.

[The journal Nuklearmedizin: does the subtitle Journal of Functional and Molecular Imaging describe the current practice of publishing?].

AIM AND METHOD: The scientific publications in the 2001 and 2002 issues of the journal Nuklearmedizin. Journal of Functional and Molecular Imaging were analyzed retrospectively with regard to molecular imaging/therapy content criteria. RESULTS: Out of a total of 82 original papers and case reports 83% were based on molecular or functional methods, 91% of them using commercially available tracers, 57% were categorized as molecular imaging, 11% as molecular therapy, 12% as functional imaging and 2% as functional therapy. 3% of the studies were categorized as experimental research. Researchers from medical specialties other than nuclear medicine were co-authors in 71% of the articles, they were rooted in basic medical sciences in 16%. Of the 65 original papers 51% were predominantly dedicated to methodological development; 49% of them were prospective studies. CONCLUSION: The subtitle Journal of Functional and Molecular Imaging describes the current practice of publishing in Nuklearmedizin. The number of authors from other specialties shows that multidisciplinary integration within the field of molecular imaging is performed. Nevertheless, more integration of basic medical sciences is needed. Nuklearmedizin contributes to the insight of molecular imaging and to its clinical application in humans.

[Scientific publishing in the journal Nuclear Medicine].

AIM: The paper reviews current scientific publishing practice in the journal Nuklearmedizin. METHOD: The scientific publications in the 2000 and 2001 issues of the journal were analyzed retrospectively with regard to their authors, formal content criteria and citation practice. RESULTS: 102 articles (69 original papers, 29 case reports, 4 review articles) were published. Of a total of 561 authors, 80 first authors came from Germany, 9 from Austria, 3 from Switzerland, and 10 from other countries. In 58 out of the 102 publications, researchers from other medical specialties were co-authors. The first authors were based at university hospitals or research centers in the case of 88 out of 102 publications. The author of one article had his own practice. Of the 102 first authors, 24 were female with a statistically significantly (p = 0.04) higher proportion in case reports compared to original papers. A total of 88/98 original papers and case reports were categorized as clinical research, 2 out of 69 original papers as experimental research, and 8 as management, health policy and radiation protection. 36 out of 102 articles were in English. The 69 original papers included a median of 48 investigated patients (range 4-991). A total of 2555 other papers with a median of 19 (range 3-230) was cited, comprising 212 citations of the journal Nuklearmedizin, i.e. 8.3% (range 0-56%). CONCLUSION: The number of authors per paper documents the tendency to team work with a major participation of other specialties; university hospitals and research centers are represented more often. There is a predominance of clinical research with a high average number of patients per study. The percentage of first female authors are proportionate to their percentage membership in the learned societies. The relatively high percentage of papers in English raises the potential to increase the scientific response to publication of the content.
