About Nuclear Medicine Jobs
Nuclear medicine is a subspecialty of radiology. Examinations are made from images of the body and its functions. The images are developed based on the detection of emitted energy from a radioactive material given to patients. It can be given either by injecting it directly into a vein or be given by mouth. For the most part, the amount of radiation to a patient is similar to that of a standard x-ray test.
Generally it takes 20 to 45 minutes to complete the scan. Depending on the type of scan it could be done immediately after the radiopharmaceutical agent is given, a few hours later, or even several days after the injection.(Source: radiologyinfo.com)
General Diagnostic Radiologists
This practice covers 2 small hospitals (total beds ~220) and a hospital-owned imaging center. The larger of the two hospitals is staffed by 4 radiologists. The Diagnostic and Imaging Center is about a mile away and is staffed by 1 radiologist. The smaller hospital is about 15 minutes away and is staffed by 1 radiologist. The work volume is about 125,000 cases/year. They have a catchment area of about 5 counties and about 100,000 people.
The group consists of 8 board-certified and/or fellowship trained radiologists who range in age from 42 to 55. Of the 6 that are fellowship trained, 1 is in Neuro, 1 in Nucs, 1 in MRI, 1 in Women’s Imaging, and 2 in IR. The last hire was Neuroradiologist who joined the group in July 2006. The group has had an exclusive contract with the hospital for about 30 years. They consider themselves a collegial group that tries to solve internal problems with frank and open discussions.
They are looking for a solid general diagnostic radiologist with special training and /or interest in body imaging. With the addition to the practice of 3 MDCT’s, additional magnets and the advent of a PET/CT, they would like to have someone who can aggressively help grow that part of the business, including such services as musculoskeletal MRI, CTA of both peripheral and coronary arteries, and possibly virtual colonography.
