RE: Reading Nuc Med images

[William.Tuttle@MED.VA.GOV]

My reading (pun intended) would be since it is not required by regulation

(unless you were to put it in your license application) it is ok for a non

AU to read the scan.  I also have never heard of anyone being cited for a

non AU reading a scan.



Note: This is my personal opinion, not that of my employer.
