Nucl. Med. Technol.2018 Dec 01; 46 AB - It has become common for nuclear medicine technologists to assume the responsibilities, or even the role, of the radiation safety officer or associate radiation safety officer. Their responsibilities are primarily related to the radioactive materials license but increasingly can include additional safety responsibilities within the hospital. These include CT, MRI, and fluoroscopy safety. Many technologists reading this article may be interested in sitting for the radiation safety advanced certification examination by the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board. A consultation of the content outline for that examination (found on the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board website) is a good place to start. The content outline is quite extensive and cannot be covered within a single article.
