[ RadSafe ] Medical physicists tasks in a PET/CT facility

[BLHamrick at aol.com]

In the United States the required tasks will depend upon what State  you are 
working in.  PET/CT is currently regulated by the individual  States.  The PET 
portion will be regulated by NRC in some States in the  near future.  It is 
best to contact the responsible regulatory agency in  the State or Country in 
which you will be working to learn the  requirments.

Dear  colleagues

As we are going to install our first PET/CT I would like to  know what
are the tasks of a medical physicist and if a full position  is
justified.The Nuclear Medicine Institute has 2 working  gamma-cameras.

Thanking you in advance
