  • 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.
