Nuclear Medicine Technologist – Cardiac PET/CT
Mesa, AZ
Full Time
Mid Level
Position Overview
We’re looking for a skilled Nuclear Medicine Technologist who wants to work at the forefront of advanced cardiac imaging. This role will be for the Mesa, AZ area and the hours are for 4 days/10 hour shifs. This role offers the chance to work with state-of-the-art SPECT and PET/CT technology, support highly specialized cardiac studies, and contribute to a program focused on accuracy, safety, and exceptional patient care.
Key Responsibilities
• Provide clear explanations of procedures and help patients feel comfortable and informed throughout their visit.
• Apply all radiation-safety principles to protect patients, yourself, and staff during every step of the imaging process.
• Operate and adjust nuclear medicine and PET/CT equipment for each exam, ensuring optimal image quality and proper patient positioning.
• Prepare and administer radiopharmaceuticals according to protocol; verify correct dosing for each study.
• Closely monitor patients for any unexpected reactions and respond appropriately.
• Acquire high-quality images, including repeat or additional views as needed based on physician guidance.
• Document procedures, doses, QC checks, and patient information with accuracy and attention to detail.
• Follow all regulatory and institutional requirements for radiation safety, waste handling, and equipment QC.
• Support daily workflow of the cardiac PET/CT program, including QA tasks, room prep, and scanner readiness.
Qualifications
• Associate degree or higher in Nuclear Medicine Technology.
• Active certification through ARRT(N) or CNMT.
• Ideally at least 3 years of nuclear medicine experience, including PET or PET/CT.
• Current BLS certification.
• Strong communication skills, a calm patient-focused approach, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced cardiac environment.
Why This Role Stands Out
• Work directly with an advanced cardiac PET/CT program.
• Consistent daytime schedule with predictable workflows.
• Opportunity to grow into cardiac-specific expertise, including rubidium or flurpiridaz imaging.
• Supportive leadership, strong clinical protocols, and an environment focused on quality and professional development.
