A nuclear medicine technologist performs nuclear imaging tests like PET (positron emission tomography) scans and SPECT (single-photon emission computed tomography) scans on patients. These tests help doctors diagnose diseases.
The technologist prepares and administers radio pharmaceuticals before beginning a scan—radioactive drugs that patients receive orally, by injection, or through inhalation. These drugs allow doctors to see abnormal areas of the body. Nuclear medicine studies include the brain, thyroid, bone, cardiac, lung, kidney, and liver scans.
Some of the Responsibilities include:
- Prepare comprehensive interpretive reports of findings.
- Prepare reports summarizing patient diagnostic or care activities.
- Check and approve the quality of diagnostic images before patients are discharged.
- Check quality of diagnostic images.
- Establish and enforce radiation protection standards for patients and staff.
- Verify that medical activities or operations meet standards.
- Determine protocols for medical procedures.
- Interpret imaging data and confer with other medical specialists to formulate diagnoses.
- Analyze test data or images to inform diagnosis or treatment.
- Collaborate with healthcare professionals to plan or provide treatment.
- Prescribe radionuclides and dosages to be administered to individual patients.
- Prescribe medications.
- Review procedure requests and patients’ medical histories to determine the applicability of procedures and radioisotopes to be used.
- Verify the accuracy of patient information.
