Thanks for reading through that and helpin...Hi Mo!<br /><br />Thanks for reading through that and helping me to understand the Nuclear Medicine department a little better.<br /><br />After seeing your post, I've made a couple of edits, so thanks again for that.<br /><br />I've been to the Nuclear Medicine department again this week for my 12th PET/CT. Which hospital are you training at?<br /><br />I really appreciate your support, so keep checking back for more updates and I'll be sure to get in touch if I think of something.<br /><br />JoshJoshuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07804463447050817969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4680377234860065506.post-34248840800335170262015-03-11T22:35:09.003+00:002015-03-11T22:35:09.003+00:00Did you know physicists work in Nuclear Medicine d...Did you know physicists work in Nuclear Medicine departments too? As it happens, I'm training to be a nuc med physicist and reading your post was interesting, seeing the sorts of things I do from the other perspective.<br /><br />I guarantee there will be hidden cupboards and doors plastered with trefoils. One of the things we have to do in Nuclear Medicine is abide by anti-terrorism laws and that means not making it obvious to the public where the 'hot' stuff is!<br /><br />MUGA is actually a very descriptive name that differentiates itself from other scans that may be captured dynamically, statically, singular gated etc, and also from a very similar type of scan called a MPS (myocardial perfusion scan). How did you feel going through this scan? It always looks like the camera heads are uncomfortably close!<br /><br />The importance of the GFR is to measure not rate at which blood flows through the kidney but the volumetric clearance (cleaning) rate the kidneys are capable of.<br /><br />Anyway, best of luck! If you have any questions about nuclear medicine, feel free to ask :)Monoreply@blogger.com
