The paper reviews current scientific publishing practice in the journal Nuklearmedizin. ⋯ 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.

Review[Clinical applications of single photon emission tomography in neuromedicine. 1. Neuro-oncology, epilepsy, movement disorders, cerebrovascular disease].
Single photon emission tomography is, because of its availability and the relatively low costs, the functional imaging modality currently most widely used for clinical applications in the brain. Beside the application of radiopharmaceuticals for the assessment of regional cerebral blood flow there is an increasing clinical use of more selective SPECT-radiopharmaceuticals, like amino acid analogs or receptor ligands. This article gives in his first part a critical review of the clinical applications of SPECT in neuro-oncology, epilepsy, basal ganglia disorders and cerebrovascular disease.
