I have over five years of experience in PET CT imaging, having worked in both private and academic settings. My experience includes performing scans, ensuring patient comfort, and accurately interpreting imaging results. I am proficient in using various PET CT systems and have a strong understanding of the protocols and safety measures required for this modality.

Patient safety is my top priority. I follow strict protocols for radiation safety, ensuring that patients are properly shielded and that the radiation dose is minimized. I also verify patient history and any potential contraindications before the scan. During the procedure, I monitor the patient continuously and provide clear instructions to ensure their comfort and safety.

One challenge I faced was managing anxious patients. To overcome this, I developed a calm and reassuring approach, explaining each step of the procedure and addressing their concerns. I also collaborated with the medical team to provide additional support when needed. This approach significantly improved patient satisfaction and reduced anxiety during scans.

I regularly attend conferences, workshops, and webinars focused on nuclear medicine and imaging technologies. I also participate in continuing education courses and maintain active memberships in professional organizations such as the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging. Additionally, I follow industry journals and online forums to stay informed about the latest advancements and best practices.

Accurate patient positioning is crucial for obtaining high-quality images that can be reliably interpreted by the radiologist. Proper positioning ensures that the anatomical structures are correctly aligned and that the radiation dose is distributed optimally. I use precise techniques and equipment, such as immobilization devices, to ensure that patients are positioned correctly and consistently for each scan.
