Great info! Also the “how to study” part. I’m starting my third degree and still feel like idk how to study. That was 🤯.

I don't wanna kill anybody. 🥹 I'm out.

Thanks for this video. I just had one of these tests for the first time. I knew I would be getting contrast dye but I did not know what to experience until I was already on the table with the IV in. When the nurse told me what sensation (warm, sweating, like wetting pants) it was the first time I heard and it alarmed me just a bit. Then when she told me she would be putting nitroglycerin under my tongue, that also caught me off guard. Maybe some people do better not knowing in advance, but for me, I would have rather been prepared. After the procedure they let me just get up and leave, but after exiting the door I had to come back inside due to feeling faint. They brought me back to the back and let me sit for a while, gave me some water and a small snack (ad hoc from an employee) and let me rest for 15-20 minutes until my blood pressure returned to normal. In the end, I think these side effects were harmless but based on this experience, I think clinics should have a resting area and some snacks and be prepared for this sort of situation. I would not discourage anyone from having this test -- the effects were very temporary. But good to know in advance.

I must have been lucky - 4 CT scans with contrast and NO feeling hot, NO sensation of peeing and NO metallic taste 😊

Thank you ma’m. This was very informative.

I had a CT scan on my abdomen so I also drank something plus got an iodine IV. My question is: Do I have to pump and dump if I'm breastfeeding?

For CT we used large 20 gauge needles why?

So glad I saw this and was prepared about the peeing on self sensation 😅 I have a ct in an hour and had no clue what to expect

Hey I’m in my last year of Xray school. I’ve thought about doing nuc med after I graduate. What’s the job outlook like? Is it a growing field? Or is becoming less popular?

Yesterday I did the same treatment at beth Israel hospital at first I went to NY language hospital at first avenue Emergency room I was skeptical when the doctors told me about that treatment refused it end up leaving the Emergency department the same night I went to beth Israel Emergency department by 13 street and first avenue to do the process it's was difficult process feeling dizziness and headaches after the CT scan the doctor told me to pull my pants lower told him I am not wearing underwear he still lower my pant before entering the CT scan at the end they said my liver was good I was concerned because of heavy alcohol but I shouldn't have done this process

I heard math and I’m good now🤣 cannot do it to save my own life let alone someone else 😂

oooo girl that sticky icky icky❤

👍🏿

MMM 🤤

E is exponents

Great video!

I have nearly 8years of experience in radiology and denial management coding could u find me a job 😮

I love you videos, I start the nuclear medicine program in October 🙌🙌

Hi Please Can there be an accurate reading without the rest and stress test/ imaging undertaken. I only had a stress test with Lesican without the rest test done. and I am told that it's fine.(which I am not accepting) obviously, no 2nd image to compare -just as you clearly explained, Meanwhile all my symptoms are still there. I am challenging this. because having watched this video I don't think my myocardial perfusion scan is done properly. because no 2 images to compare.

maam, everyone say effect of radiation will be there how far is it true

Excellent and informative video

Many he ,might have been better ,if they'd paid attention .as after they gave me the meds ,I was greatly ignored ,I felt horrible wanted to lay down somewhere .but no where to do that at.finally had the scan done .sent home after that and felt so lousy ,and ended up having a migraine headache for hours .and it took me a couple of weeks before I started to feel any different.

I plan on doing Nuclear Medicine after I’m done with Rad tech program.

Vanessa, you are totally AWESOME!!! Thank you for your detailed explanation! God BLESS You!!!

Is another side effect of the contrast dye that your urine is bright, fluorescent yellow ? If so, men and their partners need to be aware that ALL body fluids are similarly affected as stains can ruin your bedding and sleepwear ( sorry Too Much Information, but it' can be a real problem ).

What program did you attend?

After my ct with contrast I vomited little is it Normal?

Dr's get paid $12,000 by insurance each time it's performed , they say to stay away from new born babies and children for 3 days?????????????????

I had a water soluble CAT scan today and something went wrong. I won’t get into how they said nothing to me when they brought me back I had these in the past wirh no problem. As they stated the contrast, I first got a bad stinging near the IV site, then it became unbearable with pain going down my arm to my hand. I was screaming now in pain. Then my hand and arm started spasming. She stopped the flow, and made me go through the machine a few times but when done I asked if it worked, and she said, it was not sharpe “because you made me stop it”! What the heck was that all about? I never had this happen in the past. I always felt the warm sensation in my gut, and once maybe a metallic taste but never pain.

Me watching the Superman procedure hearing them say what they have to do or else they could kill the patient so nonchalantly with music. Oh yeah, I’m not worried at all. Not one bit.

I’m so scared… I failed my exercise stress test and now going to do the nuclear…😟 I like watching videos of the process so I know what to expect and it helps calm my anxiety, thank you for your video😇

Thank you for the presentation, I'm currently a high school student and really want to be a nuclear med tech student. Can you share your notes or anything you think will help high schoolers in getting into the program? Like in a link or video. Thank you and have a blessed day.

When I had my CT scan with IV contrast here in Australia, I had to lay on a bed and not move while having the IV for about an hour beforehand, then they removed it, and wheeled me into the CT scan

Cons: radiation exposure & a lot of heavy material. Lead is your best friend. 😂

Could the "E" be exponents?

Hi Hi! So I love your videos, I've literally just deep dived into your channel. I'm in the process of enrolling in a local school to hopefully be selected for the radiology program. I've been a pharmacy technician for some time, should I keep my pharm tech license active or does it not matter once you're accepted into the program?

How do I job shadow?

Thank you for your video it was definitely worth watching. I know this video was 4 years ago but I am considering NMT but I am afraid that I may not be smart enough. I do have a BS in Biology and I was hoping to tackle a MS degree in something related but it looks like this program is a certificate. How do I manage school with my full-time job? I live alone and need to pay my bills.

This was really informative! I just graduated with a BS but im interested into potentially applying for a nuclear medicine program

I work in Nuclear Cardiology also! Love seeing other NMTs 😊

Hi! I recently saw a job posting about a Nuclear Medicine AIDE. Is there a difference with that and a technologist? What are the different job roles between the two?

GOOD VIDEO.

If you search a cobaye I want.

Exponents...lol!

Are you a radiologist?

Hello Vanessa, I just noticed your last video was 3 years ago. Are you ok?🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Is their any side effects after the radioactive injection? I have swollen throat barely can swallow anything and some light bleeding down the the bottom and had no period for 9 years after my tube been taken out. Please need information

Creatinine test needed prior to scan with contrast?

I go in on Wednesday and Thursday why 2 days

I feel as if no one talks about, the radiation exposure and its link to developing cancer. Were you at all concerned about that? I am considering this field but nervous about that.
