RE: Reading Nuc Med images

["Jacobus, John (OD/ORS)" <jacobusj@ors.od.nih.gov>]

My impression that any physician can read a nuclear medicine scan.  However,

you get what you pay for.  



Restrictions for licensing are put on the one who authorized the dosing of

the patient, not on the image reader.

Does the NRC have a document stating their position on who can read nuclear

medicine images?  I believe their position is that they do not require that

an AU be the one to read the scan.



Could someone point me to that document or shed some additional light on

this issue?
