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)
MMS is looking for dedicated radiologists to provide radiology services to two imaging centers in Dallas and Fort Worth. These positions will require some onsite coverage to oversee contrast injections. The remaining hours can be covered via teleradiology. This is an excellent opportunity for those radiologists looking for part-time work or a larger group wishing to add additional volume. Modalities consist of MRI, US, CT, and NM. The centers are accredited by the ACR and include technical management staff with AART certified technologists. If you want to be part of a dynamic and growing organization please contact us.
