Job Summary
The Nuclear and Molecular Medicine Technologist III is responsible for the day-to-day operations and implementation of the only Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) program in Newfoundland & Labrador. This position performs specialized and advanced diagnostic imaging procedures using a PET/CT camera and involves administering radioactive materials and contrast with very specific timing/and flow rates to visualize the anatomical regions that are required. The result is a very detailed image that the Nuclear Medicine Physicians review to determine whether surgical interventions, oncology treatments, or palliative treatments are required. The results of the scans help the Oncologists to treat cancer patients, Cardiologists to treat cardiac patients, Neurologists to diagnose varying neurological conditions, and Internists to treat patients with infections in varying parts of their body. The Nuclear and Molecular Medicine Technologist IIIs are classified as Nuclear Energy Workers (NEW).
