Who performs procedures in nuclear medicine?

Nuclear medicine is performed by a team of professionals. As a patient comes into the clinic, they are usually greeted by the nuclear medicine technician. These are certified technicians who administer the radio tracer and position the patient appropriately for taking the images. When the images are ready, they are presented to the nuclear medicine physician who may ask for additional images or different manoeuvres. And then finally, it is the nuclear medicine physician who interprets the images in association with all the other clinical data and quality of images to form a report which is given back to the referring physician.
