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)
Fellowship Trained Radiologist
Texas physician job opportunity for one or more fellowship trained Radiologists in a desirable, urban coastal area of the state. This private group is seeking to add additional radiologists due to their expansion of a new hospital contract. This is a partnership opportunity with a very short track to partnership! They are open to a Body Imager, Musculoskeletal, Neuro, Women’s Imager, or Interventional radiologist for these positions. They only look at fellowship trained physicians and do try to keep each individual in their area of sub-specialty interest! You will be expected to do some general work, but the bulk of that comes when you are taking call. A very strong benefits package, Nighthawk for the call after 9:00 pm, an 8-5 daily shift, and a 1:5 call schedule combine to make this an extremely desirable opportunity. The city is home to a Naval Air Station and is served by an international airport. The area has a marine climate, enjoying similar temperatures to those of other Gulf Coast regions, but lower precipitation as it is located in a semi-arid region. There are many popular destinations available, including an aquarium, museums, institute of arts, theatres, botanical gardens, nature centers, and a very large national park. This is a great opportunity that will not last!
