Full title and description
St ISO 12749-6-2020 — "Nuclear energy, nuclear technologies, and radiological protection — Vocabulary — Part 6: Nuclear medicine". This part of ISO 12749 defines terms, definitions, notes to entry and examples for concepts frequently used in diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine to promote consistent usage across medical, radiopharmacy and medical‑physics contexts.
Abstract
This document provides the minimum essential terminological information for each nuclear‑medicine concept represented by a single term, including notes to entry and examples where appropriate. It is intended to facilitate communication and a common understanding among clinicians, radiopharmacists, medical physicists and other stakeholders involved in diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine.

Scope
ISO 12749-6:2020 specifies a controlled vocabulary for nuclear medicine covering diagnostic and therapeutic practices. It limits itself to providing clear, concise terms and definitions (with notes and examples) needed to describe common nuclear‑medicine concepts so that standards, clinical documentation and interdisciplinary communication use consistent terminology.
Key topics and requirements
- Authoritative definitions of nuclear‑medicine terms (diagnostic and therapeutic concepts).
- Notes to entry and illustrative examples accompanying key entries to clarify intended meaning.
- Multidisciplinary orientation to support medical, radiopharmacy and medical‑physics usages.
- Concise, single‑term entries intended for consistent use in standards, technical documentation and communication.
- Alignment with the ISO 12749 vocabulary series for nuclear energy and radiological protection.
Typical use and users
Primary users include nuclear medicine physicians, radiopharmacists, nuclear medicine technologists, medical physicists, standards authors, regulatory bodies and terminology specialists. Typical applications are drafting and harmonizing technical standards and guidance, preparing clinical and regulatory documentation, translations, and training materials where consistent terminology is required.
Related standards
ISO 12749 is a multipart vocabulary series maintained by ISO/TC 85. Related parts include ISO 12749‑1 (general terminology), ISO 12749‑3 (nuclear installations, processes and technologies; revised in 2024) and ISO 12749‑5 (nuclear reactors); additional parts and work items (e.g., Part 7 on aging/ life‑management) are tracked by the TC. Users working with nuclear‑medicine terminology should consider the other parts of the ISO 12749 series to ensure consistency across domains.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: ISO 12749‑6:2020 is Part 6 of the ISO 12749 vocabulary series; it defines terms and short definitions used in diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear medicine to promote consistent terminology across disciplines.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers single‑term entries with definitions, notes to entry and examples for frequently used nuclear‑medicine concepts (both diagnostic and therapeutic), intended for use in standards, clinical documentation and interdisciplinary communication.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Nuclear medicine clinicians, technologists, radiopharmacists, medical physicists, standards writers, regulators and terminology/translation specialists who need authoritative, harmonized definitions.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: ISO 12749‑6:2020 was published in November 2020 and is listed as published and under systematic review in the ISO catalogue; it remains the current Part 6 edition as of its last ISO listing unless a later revision has been issued by ISO. Users should check the ISO catalogue or national standards bodies for any subsequent revisions or confirmations.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: Yes — ISO 12749 is a multipart international vocabulary (ISO/TC 85) covering nuclear energy, nuclear technologies and radiological protection; Part 6 is the nuclear‑medicine installment and other parts (e.g., Part 1, Part 3, Part 5 and ongoing work for additional parts) address other subdomains.
Q: What are the key keywords?
A: Nuclear medicine, terminology, vocabulary, radiopharmacy, medical physics, diagnostic nuclear medicine, therapeutic nuclear medicine, ISO 12749.
