   • Ensure the proper disposal of radioactive materials in accordance with safety protocols.
2. Imaging and Diagnostic Procedures:
   
   • Operate nuclear medicine imaging equipment, such as gamma cameras, positron emission tomography (PET) scanners, and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scanners.
   • Perform diagnostic imaging tests to capture detailed images of organs, tissues, and bones for the detection of diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular issues, and neurological disorders.
   • Position patients correctly for optimal imaging results, ensuring patient comfort and safety during the procedure.
   • Adjust imaging equipment settings to obtain clear, accurate, and high-quality diagnostic images.
3. Patient Interaction and Preparation:
   
   • Explain imaging procedures to patients, alleviating concerns and ensuring they understand the process, risks, and benefits.
   • Verify patient identity and medical history to ensure appropriate radiopharmaceutical use and test procedures.
   • Prepare patients for imaging procedures, ensuring they are in the proper position and assisting with any necessary physical support.
4. Image Analysis and Documentation:
   
   • Review images to ensure diagnostic quality, and ensure proper labeling and documentation for each test performed.
   • Assist physicians and radiologists by providing preliminary image analysis, noting any abnormalities or relevant findings.
   • Maintain accurate patient records, including patient history, test results, and imaging reports, in compliance with hospital or facility protocols.
5. Equipment Maintenance and Safety:
   
   • Perform routine maintenance and calibration of nuclear medicine imaging equipment, ensuring proper function and safety.
   • Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues related to imaging equipment or radiopharmaceuticals.
   • Ensure that all equipment and facilities meet safety standards, particularly in handling radioactive materials, to minimize risk to both patients and staff.
   • Follow infection control and radiation safety protocols to protect both patients and staff from unnecessary radiation exposure.
6. Radiation Safety and Compliance:
   
   • Adhere to all safety and regulatory guidelines regarding the use of radioactive substances, ensuring patient and staff safety at all times.
   • Monitor and manage radiation exposure to patients, ensuring compliance with regulatory bodies such as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and Radiation Safety Office (RSO).
   • Maintain up-to-date knowledge of safety standards and best practices in radiation protection.
7. Collaboration with Healthcare Team:
   
   • Work closely with nuclear medicine physicians, radiologists, and other healthcare professionals to ensure the proper execution of imaging procedures.
   • Communicate effectively with the medical team to discuss patient conditions and help interpret diagnostic images.
   • Participate in multidisciplinary team meetings to review cases, discuss treatment plans, and provide input based on imaging results.
8. Patient Care and Follow-up:
   
   • Provide post-procedure care instructions to patients, including guidance on hydration or any side effects related to the radiopharmaceutical.
   • Monitor patients during recovery and assist with any immediate medical concerns following the procedure.
