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 Radiologist, High income
Reason for this 8-member group's search is related to desiring to have a ninth partner and have a few more weeks off per year. This is a very busy, very high income group and it may be an ideal setting for someone looking for a place to earn in upper 3-4% of radiologists in the U.S. In addition, you can also expect to have a great amount of time off. They cover multiple hospitals and the closest someone could feasibly live to St. Louis (the closest major city) is 30 minutes. But it is an excellent opportunity for someone with practice experience who is perhaps already used to doing 25K+ exams per year, but not getting paid as well for it. Clinically, they need a general radiologist able to do everything except high level interventional. If someone does bring angiography skills along with kyphoplasty, vertebroplasty etc. experience they can definitely use them. But it is not a must (beyond biopsy and drainage skills) and they definitely need someone that can read mammography. It is a general practice where everyone pretty much does everything and accommodating someone not willing to do mammography is not really feasible for them. The equipment is good at all of their hospitals and all of their hospitals have been on PACS for a couple of years. So, the efficiency of the practice has improved over the years and their volume is getting easier every year to keep up with. They have had a nighthawk service in place for nearly five years, which makes everything more manageable. The group is 11+ years old and they have been successful over the years recruiting top notch people with practice experience that come from well respected training programs. They are talking to interested and qualified candidates presently that can get, or already have, an Illinois license who can start practicing with them by the summer of 2010 or sooner. But they are more interested in practicing/seasoned radiologists that those coming straight out of training. Call or email/fax your CV for more details.
