I am on my FINAL Nuclear Medicine rotation EVER so I wanted to give you guys a behind the scenes look at all things Nuclear Medicine. Many people have never even heard of this field, and if they have, they may not be entirely sure what exactly goes on in the department. It is a super cool and high-tech field that is often times overlooked. Hopefully, with this video I can shed some light on Nuclear medicine, why it is such a great field, how it helps patients daily, and how you even become a Nuclear Medicine physician. Let me know what you guys think...Enjoy!

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
Radiology here I come. Just found out what to do as a chemistry and physics lover.
Have u majored in it?
“Unclear medicine” I like it. Lol.
Thank you for this, I am a History teacher and I was looking for an entertaining and informative link to today's technologies from Marie Curie, and Nuclear Medicine was just what I needed to interest my students. They love seeing actual scans.
I have just started watching your videos and just wanted to say you have inspired me even more to pursue radiology. love the videos and thanks for the videos 💯
Just had a gastric emptying scan for gastroparesis when I very serendipitously stumbled upon this video 👌🏻🙌🏻
This is a great video you did such a good job at explaining nuclear medicine, pet/ct and y-90 treatments! I am a certified nuclear medicine tech who now works in radiation safety, we are greatly involved with Y-90 treatments to assure that the spheres are injected properly and that there is no contamination to the patient, staff, equipment, etc. I can’t wait to show friends and family this video so they can understand what nuclear medicine is and all that I do!
So happy you posted this! I'm a
Nuclear Medicine Technologist in Canada and so many people have no idea who we are or what we do! Thank you for sharing some info!
Thanks so much! Now you can show people this video 🙃
Hi. I am a Medical Radiation Technologist, I am confused on the best specialty to go for. I am thinking of Specializing in I Cardiac/Interventional Radiography and Nuclear Medicine or General Ultrasound with emphasis on Vascular or echocardiogram. What is your advise to me.
@@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!
@@giselleherrealm2747 Thank you for this cerebral reply.
Is there good jobs for this course
Hey just wanted to say I love the channel! I’m a patient transporter at a hospital and I love to learn about all the areas especially doctors and what they do. These medical shows don’t show what really goes on behind the scenes. Thanks for the informative vids!
Thanks for the kind words!
What a great way to jump into Nuclear Medicine week this coming week! I’m a nuclear medicine technologist, and it’s very cool to see a radiologist engaged in nucs and sharing his knowledge with the public. I’m on the Therasphere team at my hospital and can definitely vouch for all those extra checks during those procedures! Thanks Dr. Cellini!
Tons of IMPORTANT safety checks when dealing with Theraspheres! Thanks for watching!

You are the best. Please keep posting.
I’ve been researching about nuclear med. after doing eeg at a neuro clinic and experienced the SPECT test & have fallen in LOVE, so happy for your info. Definitely searching schools and pathways, thanks to you and others for sharing!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I’m beginning my journey to become a nuclear medicine technologist and am so happy to come across your video! You did a fantastic job doctor! Will be sharing my entire journey from very beginning of this journey also . It’s always good to educate others and help others dive into this super interesting and rewarding field.
Great job and fruitful knowledge for Radiological technology
Well done!
Man I had to SEARCH for a video you did on nuclear lol... Enjoyed it. 😁
Being a Nm physician... Really liked your video
great music selection !
Hi... I am a Nuclear Medicine resident and I must say that u have really explained well.... thank you... :-)
هل هناك اي خطر من الاشعاع في هذه المهنة ؟
I love interventional radiology💗
Cool field 😊
me too 😜
But I suck at maths 😂 and physics
("two days ago, Tuesday October 8th, I had a follow up with my 14th IDS referral, Dr. Sungkapalee. At our 1st appointment she denied my case history and claimed that the CDC's recommended regimens for Chlamydial Urethritis are all that's available. And she prescribed me a single gram of Azithromycin along with a diagnostic errand. But at this follow-up she tried to stipulate that I need to give a diagnostic sample in order to be treated. But again she denied my case history, the symptoms I present with, and discussion around the treatment projection I brought with me. This was my 14th IDS for the Chlamydia, and this is my eleventh year of still being en route to finally be treated properly with the antibiotics...")
Even 10 minute video ... Very satisfying 😉
Dear Michael, as senior nuclear medicine specialist, I really appreciated this interesting excursus on nuclear medicine. Especially the part concerning TARE/SIRT, which is one of my main field of interest. Good information!
All the best,
Luca
PS your surname sounds a little bit... Italian!
Hi l want to study this course
I have few questions. May l ask
If it is ok for you. Can I have your email address
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 CZcams, 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!
Wish there was a x-ray or MRI radiologist here on youtube. As an MRI and xray tech, I love learning what radiologists look at when they view the images I get, helps me become better at my job :) Regardless, I enjoy your videos :)
I read x-rays and MRIs too...don't worry 🙃
Many thanks!!
That is correct, especially malignant cancers, which have an enormous blood supply.
Opening the nuclear medicine department at the PORTsmouth Naval hospital with Dr. Hodges Goodrich Jennings leach GERBER and CHEN Provided seamless integrated. Y 90 procedure sounds like proton therapy. Thanks for the info.
I just found your videos, I just graduated high school and am wanting to major in Nuclear Medicine and apply to Med School after. I was wondering what your path was to becoming what you are today. I would love some more info about this field
Nice behind the scenes! I always found nuclear radiology very interesting! It is so different. 👍
thx a lot
hi, this may sound like a dumb question but I currently attend George Washington university and I am in the pre med program, I am doing well in classes but struggling in some and not always getting great grades. I always get self doubt that I am not smart enough to become a doctor or yet go to medical school and I just wanted to get some in put by a surgeon yourself if my self doubt is reasonable or not. should I be getting straight As on every assignment or Is it ok that I don't always ace everything that I do. My goal Is to become a neurosurgeon and I know I have a long way to go but what you do motivates me and if I hear back from you that would be amazing. Have a nice night!
Why I am reading scans on animals? Hahahahahaha!! 😂 I needed that. Thanks!
Hi, what do you think is the best way of diagnosing a labral tear of the hip? Contrast? Are they hard to spot if small?
Awesome video! Nuclear medicine looks very interesting. Would it be possible for you to do a video about how to read a pet scan? It would be interesting to actually watch you go through one and see how you diagnose a patient.
Sure but not sure how many people would be interested lol
Well I’d say let’s find out lol
I just had a PET and pretty much confirmed cancer in my pancreas. i am hoping I can see the film. I meet later today with the surgical oncologist
❤
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! 😂
I think that you took a drink that have barium sulfate while in front of a fluoroscope (C-arm).
Nope! In that study, contrast was mixed in scrambled egg. I did have a similar study you are referring to called a CT w/contrast, where I drank the fluid before the exam. During the same CT, they also pushed in iodine via catheter in my arm.
Dr.. if only mbbs students only require for nuclear medicine consultant or bsc +msc + PhD is requireeee for carrer
Can u also do a vlog about MRI?
Great video I’m new to this channel and I already know that I’m going to watch this videos in bed for a long long time
Hi Dr. Cellini, fantastic video. Also you are so handsome which makes it more visually appealing.
I have a question that I heard pure Nuclear Medicine Residency makes it very hard for graduates to seek a job because most places want both Diagnostic Radiology and nuclear medicine trained radiologist (I think it's one additional year). Do you suggest people to still apply for 3-year Pure nuclear medicine residencies despite this job market? Thanks !
Is there a long term risk for the doctor who deal or take this speciality? Who deal with this type of therapeutic radiation
What's the difference btw interventional radiology and nuclear medicine ???
Pls help
How many years of residency for radiology?
So would u say cancer feeds off sugar?
My PET scan indicated the presence of a malignant liver tumour that turned out to be benign...which was only discovered after a liver resection when the tumour then went to pathology. So my question is- are false positives somewhat common when it comes to PET scans?
Yes they are common! We factor in a lot of data when reading PET scans...clinical status, other imaging, prior diagnoses, etc etc
Dr. Cellini Thanks for your reply. I really enjoy your channel. As an oncology patient it’s very interesting to see the behind the scenes, inner workings of a hospital.
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!
hello Dr.cellini i am very much interested in this subject how can i become a nuclear medicine doctor in India.
I am 20 years old and I am pretty worried. I’d like to become a nuclear medecine technologist. But I don’t know how I’d feel about graduating when I will be 24 :(
Dahlia Turgeon-Baril in four years you’ll still be 24. go for it!
How many nuclear medicine technologist are employed in one hospital setting like in major city at big hospitals/schools?
Hello sir, I just wanted to know I am from India and I did Msc Nucleae medicine technology from Manipal, so how I will work abroad and what elegibility criteria to work In Abroad. Please tell sir
I work in the radiation field....Radon. 😉. I recently had many CT scans and a PET scan for my new autoimmune disease 🙂
At the end you say it takes over ten to twelve yrs to be a nuclear med tech,ive seen schools offer this in a associate degree?
He actually said it takes about 14 years to become a nuclear medicine physician. The med tech role can be obtained via Associates or Bachelor level training, but you obviously won't be a full-fledged Radiologist at the completion.
Is there along term danger for doctor to become a nuclear med specialist ?
I actually understood the unclear medicine joke good Lordy 😂
Your eyes macth you scrubs. Damn that's pretty!
Do nuclear medicine technologist have to face radiation problems and serious health issues like cancer as a disadvantage of this course???
As a nuclear tech I appreciate this video.
Is the pay good?
I am a dr from Bangladesh ...neuclear medicine is my speciality...if i want to work in USA... what do I have to do? Thank you
How many day of isolations if I do radioactive
My RT professor was looking for a video on nuclear medicine in class today since we are going over different modalities and I saw this video and literally yelled in class “DR. CELLINIIIIIIII I LOVE HIMMMM” 😭
You should have made them play this video 😬
@@DrCellini Word Life.
Hi doctor
Unclear Medicine lol 😂 happy NucMed week 💉💊☢️
As an unclear medicine technologist, I appreciated this video! 😂😂
Hii , where u from? Cuz I wanna know about if it is easy to find a job at US, UK and Canada
When u r a nuclear medicine technologist
I’m the US it can be difficult to find a full time job straight out of school. I have nuc med students come through my facility and half of the 2022 class has found full time jobs already. It expected to get better as the baby boomer generation retires.
@@katiephillips7542 if I have a Bachelor of nuclear medicine, not a diploma, and I’m not a citizen would it be difficult?
@@gemini1745 I’m not sure how the process would go to transfer licensing. I may be easier with current staff shortage. It might be expedited, you’d need either NMTCB or ARRT. Some states require an additional cert. I’m in texas so I also have to be
License through the texas medical board on top of my national certification
Who is the king in Radiology sub ? Nuclear med? Who gets more paid? IR or NM? 😁
I am a Medical Radiation Technologist, I am confused on the best specialty to go for. I am thinking of Specializing in I Cardiac/Interventional Radiography and Nuclear Medicine or General Ultrasound with emphasis on Vascular or echocardiogram. What is your advise to me.
It always makes me grin when someone asks if we scan pets.
How long would it take to major in nuclear medicine?
@Judge Steve
Why?
4 years
Hiiiii Doctor 😍😍 lmaoo over here thirst trapping
What’s the intro music 🤠
Was it a pet scan I had some years ago to find my P E s. I know it was in nuclear meds. Rings a bell.
Is there anyway you can explain to a non educated hospital the role of a Nuclear medicine tech, I had a pharmacist call me a “tech” and did not understand my role as I’m the chief of Nuclear medicine as well as the RSO......how is a pharmacist checking my role? To give drugs that take me to the next step in my exam or procedures. It’s legit stated under scope of practice but yet I’m being checked by someone who when I talk to them about nuc med is LOST. I told her yes “Tech” is in my title, we’ve been trying to change it for years. We are like a PA to the Rads. Let me know bro!
what is the highest paid subspecialty of radiology?
Hi sir i am interested working in USA how can i reach you sir i completed my nuclear medicine technologist program in india sir..
Does anyone knows a nuclear medicine technician bachelor degree programs school, in the USA
Salem state university in massachusetts!
difference between radiotherapy and nuclear medicine
Hey i also want to become a part of nuclear medicines i am interested in technology new era of life. A
I am doing bachelor in physics
Anyone that thumbed down didn’t get the joke
Can I send you my nuclear bone scan to read?😂 My doctor confused with it, bc the radiologist wrote in the report it was a normal scan, while my doctor see’s a complete hot spot
Lol they aren’t easy to read
7
13 years? to be a nuc physician?
You’re totally cute!! Love your videos
Selfishness feeling relakshion inside.
WHAT. THE. F. Humans are incredible. Listen to what the f is possible! Insane!
Scans on animals? That got me
You kinda talk like your wife now 😂
sir, I thought a day in a life of nuclear medicine will consist of all the things you are doing during your working hours. but this video does not seem appropriate for the title as you are not explaining how it feels to be a nuclear medicine specialist, how you interact with patients, who are your colleagues, and what exactly you have to do as a nuclear medicine specialist in your office setting.
Is it easy to find a job when you are a nuclear medicine technologist ?🔴🔴
I'm insulted by how unenthused you are about nuclear medicine lol.
OMG !! STUPID LOUD MUSIC !!! why - why - why one dislike for you
