1. What is contamination?

physical contact leaving a deposit of radioactive material on a surface, matter, or person. The contaminated person is irradiated as long as the active matter has not been eliminated or the radioactivity has not fully decayed naturally.

2. Explain me are you satisfied with your income?

In short, yes. While some other specialties make more and others make less, I am able to pay my bills and start to pay off my medical student loans and home mortgage.

3. What is cold kit?

non-radioactive precursor of a radiopharmaceutical containing all the elements that enable this medication to be reconstituted almost instantaneously, simply by adding a radionuclide solution.

4. Explain me has being a specialist in nuclear medicine met your expectations? Why?

Yes, absolutely. Not only do I get to think about physiology, physics, math and chemistry daily, but I also get to spend time with patients.

5. What is becquerel(Bq)?

unit of radioactivity equal to one (1) disintegration per second. The Becquerel replaces the former curie unit, one curie being the equivalent of 37 billion Becquerel.

6. Explain me are you willing to relocate?

It's common for Medical Professionals to travel and cover between medical centers. Be clear during your interview if you are able to relocate or travel within a 30-mile radius.

7. What is decay?

reduction in the degree of radioactivity over the course of time.

8. What is beta-plus?

(β+) (beta-plus radiation): a particle emitted by a radioisotope and formed from a positively charged electron (positron), an unstable anti-electron, which when it meets a negatively charged electron is annihilated to emit two gamma photons that move in exactly opposite directions and are therefore usable in imaging.

9. Who is radiologist?

physician who specializes in the practice of diagnostic radiology
