for PET technologists working in a busy PET facility.  We currently have 3
PET technologists (alternating) in our facility.  We perform approximately 7
FDG studies per day (15 mCi dose of F-18 FDG), 1 FES studies/week (6 mCi
dose of F-18 FES), one C-11 acetate per month (20 mCi dose of C-11 acetate).
If you are interested in responding, I will compile the results, including
our data, and return the results (Please provide an email address) of the
survey to the responders.
