ABOUT:
Cardiovascular Services of America (CVAUSA) is the largest private and independent cardiology network in the United States. Our inclusive and diverse network brings together top cardiovascular specialists and thought leaders who offer regional perspectives and a broad strategic vision for the future of patient care.

Cardiovascular Associates of America aims to bring the best cardiovascular physicians in one network with the common mission of saving lives, reducing costs, and improving patient care through clinical innovation. Through CVAUSA’s physician-centered practice management model, physicians drive clinical care and their practice culture, while benefiting from the business expertise and shared resources available through CVAUSA for better patient outcomes.
Position Overview
We’re looking for a skilled Nuclear Medicine Technologist who wants to work at the forefront of advanced cardiac imaging. This role will be for the Mesa, AZ area at one of our established practice locations and the hours are for 4 days/10‑hour shifts. This role offers the chance to work with state‑of‑the‑art SPECT and PET/CT technology, support highly specialized cardiac studies, and contribute to a program focused on accuracy, safety, and exceptional patient care.
Key Responsibilities
Provide clear explanations of procedures and help patients feel comfortable and informed throughout their visit.
Apply all radiation‑safety principles to protect patients, yourself, and staff during every step of the imaging process.
Operate and adjust nuclear medicine and PET/CT equipment for each exam, ensuring optimal image quality and proper patient positioning.
Prepare and administer radiopharmaceuticals according to protocol; verify correct dosing for each study.
Closely monitor patients for any unexpected reactions and respond appropriately.
Acquire high‑quality images, including repeat or additional views as needed based on physician guidance.
Document procedures, doses, QC checks, and patient information with accuracy and attention to detail.
Follow all regulatory and institutional requirements for radiation safety, waste handling, and equipment QC.
Support daily workflow of the cardiac PET/CT program, including QA tasks, room prep, and scanner readiness.
Qualifications
Associate degree or higher in Nuclear Medicine Technology.
Active certification through ARRT(N) or CNMT.
Ideally at least 3 years of nuclear medicine experience, including PET or PET/CT.
Current BLS certification.
Strong communication skills, a calm patient‑focused approach, and the ability to thrive in a fast‑paced cardiac environment.
Why This Role Stands Out
Work directly with an advanced cardiac PET/CT program.
Consistent daytime schedule with predictable workflows.
Opportunity to grow into cardiac‑specific expertise, including rubidium or flurpiridaz imaging.
Supportive leadership, strong clinical protocols, and an environment focused on quality and professional development.
