Abstract Although it may not be well known, the Annals of Nuclear Medicine (ANM) Editorial Committee includes one specialty editor of nuclear medicine physics, one of nuclear medicine technology, one of molecular imaging, and two of radiopharmacology. In addition, a statistics editor and a language editor are also on the committee. Manuscripts submitted to ANM can be peer-reviewed by such specialty editors similar to those submitted to highly ranked journals, which is a great pride and joy to us. To offer our readers a condensed global view on the high-quality research work in the field of nuclear medicine, we have published a mini-review article every year under the joint authorship of the ANM associate editors since 2016. This is our fourth serial review article written by the ANM specialty editors from their respective expert viewpoints.

Introduction To offer our readers a condensed global view of the highquality research work conducted in the field of nuclear medicine, we have published a mini-review article every year under the joint authorship of the 5–6 associate editors of the Annals of Nuclear Medicine (ANM) since 2016 [1–3]. This is our fourth serial article written by the final group of 5 authors from about 20 associate editors. Differing from the previous general editor coauthors, the current coauthors are * Masayuki Inubushi [email protected]‑m.ac.jp 1
