In this edition of Behind the Desk, we highlight a College member in Calgary who has chosen to practice in nuclear medicine technology. Michelle L. gives us a glimpse into why she chose nuclear medicine, what her work day involves and her insights into the profession. What intrigued you to enter this profession? The part that intrigued me the most to become a nuclear medicine technologist is working with radioactive isotopes such as Technetium 99m and F-18. As I [...]
In keeping with our strategic plan’s direction to “connect and inspire members to foster and instill commitment to both the public and the practice of the profession,” the College regularly reaches out to its student members. While in-person presentations aren’t currently feasible, we’ve continued to engage with students using new methods. The College met virtually with radiological technology students at SAIT earlier this month. Staff delivered a presentation about the importance of self-regulation, the legislative framework and the College [...]
When the new member portal launches on July 20, it will also bring one new exciting feature: paper-free management of additional and enhanced practice authorizations through an "all online" process.
The College’s Nominations Committee reported to Council that the number of qualified applicants met the number of vacant positions. Given this, voting by the membership was not required, as per the bylaws. We are pleased to announce that as of July 1, 2020, we will welcome a new Council member, Ayman Darwish, MRT(R)(MR). Returning for a second term are Gail Astle, MRT(R), Jessica Cherwick, ENP, and Laurie Walline, MRT(NM).
The Medical Diagnostic and Therapeutic Technologists Profession Regulation establishes the components of the Continuing Competence Program (CCP). The College is in the process of looking at this year’s framework for CCP given the current COVID-19 pandemic state of emergency. Changes that will impact members’ CCP will be communicated as soon as possible. Much has changed in the last month and we all have to adjust to a new normal. Physical distancing has led to cancellations of conferences and many other opportunities [...]
The College has created the Emergency Registration for the COVID-19 Pandemic application, which allows practitioners to be registered in Alberta for a renewable 90-day period, to authorize practice required to manage the outbreak of COVID-19.
The Alberta College of Medical Diagnostic and Therapeutic Technologists (The College) is the governing body for the regulation of electroneurophysiology (ENP) technologists in the province of Alberta. As per the Health Professions Act (HPA), the College Council approves programs of study for entry-to-practice education for ENPs in Alberta. Currently, the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) Electroneurophysiology Technology Program is the only active approved program for ENPs. In 2019, the College went through a comprehensive process for the ENP profession and competency profiles [...]
The College is closely monitoring the spread of COVID-19 as it relates to the practice of the profession. It is important for our members to continue to stay updated about the COVID-19 situation as it continually evolves. The College created a new COVID-19 Information and Updates page where you can access links to up-to-date resources, including FAQs, Emergency Registration for the COVID-19 Pandemic and the Alberta Health Services COVID-19 self-assessment tool for healthcare workers. We will also continue to update our COVID-19 FAQs page [...]

Wagner, and Bital Savir-Baruch 18F-fluciclovine is a Food and Drug Administration–approved PET tracer indicated for patients suspected to have recurrent prostate cancer based on a prostate-specific antigen rise after prior therapy. 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT is performed significantly differently from 18F-FDG PET/CT and requires special attention to patient preparation, injection technique, and imaging time. This article aims to provide nuclear medicine technologists with the best-practice guidelines for the 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT [...]
