A description is given of the more relevant procedures of diagnostic nuclear medicine as well as of future trends in this field, especially with regard to in vivo research and clinical applications at the biochemical level. The part played by animal models in the past and present is emphasised. The inclusion of a nuclear medicine facility, as equipped and run by the Atomic Energy Board at the H.A.
