To identify the role of a clinical research nurse (CRN) in ensuring the protection of human subjects and research integrity in clinical research with molecular imaging, which is a new technology to visualize molecular behavior and function in the living body. 
<Method > 
Narrative, non-systematic review. 
<Result > 
To ensure protection of human subjects and research integrity in clinical research with molecular imaging, it is important to recognize the role of a CRN not only as personnel caring human subjects as well as assisting investigators to obtain informed consent and to manage obtained data, but also as personnel for planning and managing the whole research, especially the process of manufacturing radiolabeled drugs and controlling the radiation dose received by human subjects. 
<Conclusion > 
It is important to recognize the role and job-description of a CRN as one of the S-CRCs (special clinical research coordinators), that one recognized as qualified research nurses skilled in a special scientific field. 
<Ethical consideration > 
We observed the behavior of researchers and our ordinary practice but we haven't observed any research subjects, and we haven't described any individual behavior of observed researchers, just review process of the practice.
Japanese regulations and international ethical codes such as Declaration of Helsinki don't require obtaining consents of observed people in this kind of review, without utilising any individual-identifiable information.
A part of our research is funded by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO)., Ｔhe 1st International Nursing Research Conference of World Academy of Nursing Science（世界看護科学学会 第１回学術集会）},
