Scintillating Conversations: Why Now is the Time to Be in Nuclear Medicine—A Podcast for SNMMI and Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging Professionals
Was medical physicist an option at your school's career day? If so, lucky you! But if not, you're not alone. It's a pretty niche field, but it has a significant impact on the future of personalized medicine and treating diseases. If you're thinking that this sounds like an intriguing career path, we're joined by physicists working in several different areas of nuclear medicine: quality control, equipment calibration, and research. Ben Auer, PhD, hosts this episode as we learn more about how our guests discovered their career in medical physics, the qualifications needed, and the various opportunities that come with this highly rewarding field. Tune in now!

Vizamyl Important Safety Information
PRODUCT INDICATIONS AND USE
VIZAMYL™(flutemetamol F 18 injection) is indicated for positron-emission tomography (PET) of the brain to estimate amyloid beta neuritic plaque density in adults with cognitive impairment for:
- Evaluation of Alzheimer's disease(AD) and other causes of cognitive decline
- Selection of patients who are indicated for amyloid beta-directed therapy as described in the prescribing of information of the therapeutic products.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
VIZAMYL is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity reaction to VIZAMYL or polysorbate 80.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
The most commonly reported adverse reactions in clinical trials were flushing(2%), increased blood pressure(2%), headache nausea and dizziness(1%).
Postmarketing experience included anaphylactic reactions. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
