    I’m a Nuclear Medicine technologist. And yea I hear about the “unclear medicine” joke all the time. But the advantage of nuclear medicine images is that they are so sensitive when compared to CT or MRI images. You can get more advantages when you fuse both nuclear medicine and CT images together for better sensitivity and specificity at the same time. In other words, Nuclear images are sensitive to disease detection while CT can localize where the disease is. Function vs Anatomy

      @@mathewjr3766 Hi! It depends on your interest, really! In Canada, you have to choose one or spend extra time in school to learn multiple. So for interventional radiography (which is very interesting if you enjoy procedural and decide to specialize in x-ray), you may have to start out in general x-ray however and work your way into that role with added certification. Nuclear medicine would involve studying here in Canada or specializing specifically in nuclear medicine, very interesting field for physiology and organ function and can go further into hybrid imaging e.g. PET/CT etc. (Full-time jobs are harder to find however). Ultrasound is good for its portability, its widely used in hospitals, clinics, health centres etc. And no radiation involved!

    I had my first nuclear medicine study done two weeks ago. It was gastric emptying. I ate this egg mixture with sulfur tasting contrast in it. The gastroenterologist called me 90 minutes after the end of the test to refer me to another gastroenterologist who specializes in gastric motility. Apparently, I had retention of 90% at hour 3 and 60% at hour 4. 😮
    I also received a letter stating that I had this procedure done because I would be setting off alarms at airport and border checkpoints for at least 3 days! I did go on a trip 3 days later and yes, I did set off the TSA scanner! 😂

    So I have a question. I just got a chemical stress test yesterday and the results came out fine. But I'm a little confused. The lady told me the test I was getting was better than a nuclear stress test...she said it was the Cadillac of stress tests. After watching videos of chemical stress tests on RUclips, most of them took several hours and they were given radioactive dye and had to wait 60-90 min for the dye to go through the body. I didn't have to do amy of that. My total stress test took about 35 min total. I never got on a treadmill or had to wait for dye. I did get the Lexiscan stuff that makes your heart race, and that part took 8 min. They also never mentioned giving me radioactive dye and the paperwork they sent home with me says nothing about it. So what did I get done and what is the difference, and did they probably use the dye, and I just didn't know? Thanks so much!

      It’s unfortunate to undergo the difficult surgery & recovery of a liver resection when the tumour ended up being benign (although I’m glad it was!) My surgeon, however, did say it was best that the mass was removed.
      Your comment about the PET and prior diagnosis/imaging made sense since my primary tumour was colorectal. Keep up the good work!
