The current committee membership is comprised of the following professionals: (a) nuclear medicine physician; (b) nuclear cardiologist; (c) medical physicist in nuclear medicine, unsealed byproduct material; (d) therapy medical physicist; (e) radiation safety officer; (f) nuclear pharmacist; (g) two radiation oncologists; (h) patients’ rights advocate; (i) Food and Drug Administration representative; (j) Agreement State representative; and (k) health care administrator.
