Introduction: Medicine Without Borders — But With Standards
In today’s interconnected world, medical research and diagnostics cross borders daily — yet diagnostic results do not.
A “positive” scan in one nation may be “negative” in another, depending on equipment calibration, protocols, or interpretation.
This variability undermines public health, clinical trials, and international trust.
FMTVDM® (Fleming Method for Tissue and Vascular Differentiation and Metabolism) solves this by establishing a single, calibrated, quantitative standard for measuring disease activity and recovery — uniting medicine under a common scientific language: measurement.
The Problem: Medical Data That Cannot Be Compared
When imaging systems are uncalibrated, the same patient can show “different results” on two machines.
This makes multi-center clinical trials unreliable, and national health data inconsistent.
Government health agencies and research institutions have long sought a method to standardize quantitative results without depending on vendor-specific calibration or human interpretation.
FMTVDM® answers that need by calibrating all imaging systems to the same measurable standard, ensuring reproducibility whether in Tokyo, Houston, or Bratislava.
FMTVDM® Select Nation Status (SNS): Defining Measurable Medicine by Law
FMTVDM® Select Nation Status (SNS) is an international initiative inviting countries to implement scientific calibration standards in medical imaging and diagnostics.
Goals of FMTVDM® SNS:
Establish National Calibration Standards — All diagnostic systems calibrated using FMTVDM® physics-based methodology.
Unify Medical Research Results — Data from one center directly comparable to another.
Eliminate Diagnostic Bias — Replace interpretive subjectivity with reproducible measurement.
Empower Public Health Policy — Decisions based on quantified, reproducible medical evidence.
Through SNS, participating nations achieve scientific sovereignty — the ability to define health by measurement, not by political or commercial influence.
The Scientific Foundation for Global Truth
FMTVDM® applies the universal laws of physics to biological systems — transforming medical imaging into a reproducible scientific instrument.
This approach is supported by peer-reviewed research:

Fleming RM. Measuring Regional Blood Flow and Metabolism Using Quantitative Imaging. J Nucl Cardiol. 2018;25(3):1–9.
Just as the metric system unified measurement across nations, FMTVDM® unifies medical quantification — providing the world’s first scientifically reproducible diagnostic standard.
From Clinical Accuracy to Public Accountability
Public health depends on accurate, reproducible data.
When health policies are based on inconsistent or subjective information, outcomes vary, costs rise, and public trust erodes.
By quantifying tissue and vascular changes with calibrated precision, FMTVDM® allows governments, hospitals, and researchers to:
Verify claims of treatment efficacy.
Compare population health outcomes objectively.
Detect national trends in cardiovascular disease, infection, or cancer early.
Build international collaborations rooted in measurable fact.
FMTVDM® transforms medicine into an evidence-based global science, not a regional art.
Building the Framework of Measurable Medicine
FMTVDM® defines the physics of health measurement and enables nations to enact it as policy and practice.
The next era of medicine will not be defined by new drugs or machines, but by the truth of quantification — measurable results that transcend interpretation, politics, and profit.
Through the Select Nation Status initiative, Dr. Richard M. Fleming and the FMTVDM® Consortium are building a world where medical truth is defined by reproducible measurement — and where every patient, in every country, is diagnosed and treated using the same scientific standard.
