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 Locum Tenens Radiologist
Welcome to the 'Land of Lincoln!' A two-person radiology group in Illinois has a job opportunity for a locum tenens Diagnostic Radiologist for vacation coverage. The group also needs ongoing weekend coverage, if that is what you're looking for. As for the work week, it is Monday through Friday, 8-hour days, with call being optional. All modalities would be preferred and mammography is definitely a deal breaker. They will only consider those that are board certified. As for the weekend, it would consist of a mixture of call and on-site work. Locums interested in the weekends would be able to work up to four per month. The group and staff are great to work with, so this would be one place worth returning to.
