Our client requires a certified Nuclear Medicine Technologist to perform cardiac imaging procedures at their Dallas, TX outpatient location. This role is the primary imaging specialist on-site — responsible for radiopharmaceutical preparation and administration, SPECT and PET/CT acquisition, equipment QC, and regulatory documentation. The technologist works under physician supervision and coordinates with clinical support staff during stress testing procedures.

Volume begins part-time and increases as the practice grows in the Dallas market. This is a 1099 engagement.

Imaging & Radiopharmaceuticals

• Prepare and administer radiopharmaceuticals per physician orders and regulatory requirements
• Perform SPECT and cardiac PET/CT imaging procedures, including Tc-99m and Rubidium-82 protocols
• Operate and maintain the Rubidium-82 generator including elution procedures and quality control
