Simultaneous multi-nuclide imaging in nuclear medicine is highly expected that visualize the metabolism of multiple molecules in individual on the same coordinates and time axis. In this review paper, Compton-PET hybrid imaging system combining PET and Compton imaging technology is introduced. The possibility of active collimators for multi-nuclide imaging, the improvement of Compton camera and multi-photon time-space correlated imaging are also discussed as future imaging methods. We expect the development of novel nuclear medicine imaging based on those new concepts in Japan.
