AB Objective: The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive description of computer networks and how they can improve the efficiency of a nuclear medicine department. Methods: This paper discusses various types of networks, defines specific network terminology and discusses the implementation of a computer network in a nuclear medicine department. Results: A computer network can serve as a vital component of a nuclear medicine department, reducing the time expended on menial tasks while allowing retrieval and transferral of information. Conclusions: A computer network can revolutionize a standard nuclear medicine department. However, the complexity and size of an individual department will determine if networking will be cost-effective.
