    • Assist physicians and radiologists by providing preliminary image analysis, noting any abnormalities or relevant findings.
    • Maintain accurate patient records, including patient history, test results, and imaging reports, in compliance with hospital or facility protocols.
  • Equipment Maintenance and Safety:
    • Perform routine maintenance and calibration of nuclear medicine imaging equipment, ensuring proper function and safety.
    • Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues related to imaging equipment or radiopharmaceuticals.
    • Ensure that all equipment and facilities meet safety standards, particularly in handling radioactive materials, to minimize risk to both patients and staff.
    • Follow infection control and radiation safety protocols to protect both patients and staff from unnecessary radiation exposure.
  • Radiation Safety and Compliance:
    • Adhere to all safety and regulatory guidelines regarding the use of radioactive substances, ensuring patient and staff safety at all times.
    • Monitor and manage radiation exposure to patients, ensuring compliance with regulatory bodies such as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and Radiation Safety Office (RSO).
    • Maintain up-to-date knowledge of safety standards and best practices in radiation protection.
  • Collaboration with Healthcare Team:
    • Work closely with nuclear medicine physicians, radiologists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure the proper execution of imaging procedures.
    • 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.
