  • Communicate effectively with the medical team to discuss patient conditions and help interpret diagnostic images.
  • Participate in multidisciplinary team meetings to review cases, discuss treatment plans, and provide input based on imaging results.

Patient Care and Follow-up:

  • Provide post-procedure care instructions to patients, including guidance on hydration or any side effects related to the radiopharmaceutical.
  • Monitor patients during recovery and assist with any immediate medical concerns following the procedure.
  • Offer information to patients regarding any follow-up imaging or treatment required based on their results.
