Nuclear Medicine Physician and Radiologist Business Cards

Nuclear medicine physicians and radiologists are the imaging specialists who use radioactive tracers, X-rays, CT, MRI, ultrasound, PET, and SPECT to visualize anatomy and physiology, diagnose disease, and guide image-directed procedures. Nuclear medicine physicians specifically use radiopharmaceuticals to diagnose and treat diseases — injecting or having patients inhale radioactive tracers that are taken up by specific organs or tumor tissues, then imaging their distribution with gamma cameras, SPECT, or PET/CT scanners.

What Nuclear Medicine and Radiology Cards Include

Your Credentials

Nuclear medicine:

Diagnostic radiology:

• ABR board certified (American Board of Radiology) — Diagnostic Radiology
• Diplomate, American Board of Radiology
• FACR (Fellow, American College of Radiology) — ACR fellowship
• ACR member (American College of Radiology) — primary organization

Interventional radiology:

• ABR board certified in Interventional Radiology — since 2015, IR has its own direct primary board certification (DR-IR pathway) — DR + IR residency
• SIR member (Society of Interventional Radiology) — primary IR society
• FSIR (Fellow, Society of Interventional Radiology)

Radiation oncology:

• ABR board certified in Radiation Oncology — different subspecialty from DR
• ASTRO member (American Society for Radiation Oncology)

Medical physics:

• ABR board certified in Medical Physics — for medical physicists

• PET PSMA imaging (Pylarify, LOCAMETZ) — prostate cancer staging and restaging
• FAPI PET — tumor microenvironment imaging
• SPECT bone scan — metastatic disease, osteomyelitis
• SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) — CAD diagnosis
• Hepatobiliary scan (HIDA scan)
• Renal scan (MAG3, DTPA)
• Thyroid scan and uptake
• Parathyroid scan (Sestamibi)
• Lymphoscintigraphy and sentinel node mapping

Theranostics (therapeutic nuclear medicine):

• Radioiodine (I-131) therapy — thyroid cancer and hyperthyroidism
• Lu-177 DOTATATE (Lutathera) — somatostatin receptor-expressing neuroendocrine tumors
• Lu-177 PSMA (Pluvicto/lutetium-177-PSMA-617) — metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer

Interventional radiology (IR) procedures:

• Arterial access and angiography
• TACE (Transarterial Chemoembolization) — liver tumors

• Embolization (uterine fibroid, prostate artery, GI bleed, trauma)
• TIPS (Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt)
• Ablation (RFA, microwave, cryoablation) — liver, lung, kidney, bone tumors
• Biliary drainage and stenting
• Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty
• IVC filter placement and retrieval
• Venous access (PICC lines, ports, tunneled catheters)
