The field of Nuclear Medicine requires effective scientific contribution from experts/specialists/professionals etc from following fields/areas. 1. Clinical Nuclear Medicine 2. Medical Physicists 3.Radiation safety experts 4.Radionuclide Dosimetry 5. Software Experts for image processing and AI applications 6. Radiopharmacist 7. Radiation Biologist 8.Health care management 9. Specialised Nursing Skills There are so many regulatory agencies controlling the activities related to functioning of nuclear medicine department. In addition centres or departments willing to run or start various training/academic courses are desired to fulfil host of requirements from several regulatory agencies sometimes making it extremely difficult to cope up with huge set of mandatory requirements. It is in itself a credit to one who is consistently and successfully running the departments and rendering the desired level of patient care under diverse conditions.

What Does a Medical Physicist Do in Nuclear Medicine? In a nuclear medicine department, medical physicists ensure the safe and effective use of radiation for diagnosis and treatment. Their work is a blend of precision, safety, and collaboration. 🔧 Key Responsibilities: 1️⃣ Quality Assurance: • Testing and calibrating PET and SPECT scanners for optimal performance. 2️⃣ Radiation Dosimetry: • Calculating the exact radiation dose for patients to maximize therapeutic benefits and minimize risks. 3️⃣ Safety Oversight: • Designing shielding protocols and monitoring radiation exposure for staff and the environment. 4️⃣ Collaborative Roles: • Working with nuclear medicine physicians and technologists to refine imaging and therapy techniques. This role is essential for advancing nuclear medicine while prioritizing patient and staff safety.

Want to know more about the heroes behind nuclear medicine? Tellurium 130 is one of them! This special isotope is the "raw material" for preparing iodine 131. Iodine 131 is a radioactive isotope that plays a vital role in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases. The thyroid gland of patients with hyperthyroidism will over-secrete thyroid hormones. After iodine 131 enters the human body, it will concentrate in the thyroid gland and destroy part of the thyroid tissue through radioactive decay, thereby reducing the secretion of thyroid hormones and achieving the purpose of treatment.
