Abstract

The aim of the review is to highlight articles published in 2017 in the Annals of Nuclear Medicine, an official peer-reviewed journal of the Japanese Society of Nuclear Medicine. Among all published manuscripts during the past year, we conducted a subjective selection of the most relevant topics. Fourteen fascinating articles are included in this review, ranging in topic from preclinical to clinical arenas.
