Rajaa Nour works as a Nuclear Medicine Technologist in Miranda, in Sydney’s south. The practice is based at Suite 4, 468-472, The Kingsway, Miranda NSW 2228.
In day to day work, nuclear medicine is all about using small, carefully measured amounts of radioactive material to help doctors see what’s happening inside the body. These scans can be useful when something needs a clearer picture than a regular check-up or standard imaging can give.
Rajaa’s role includes performing bone scans. Bone scans can help with questions around areas of the skeleton, especially when doctors want to check for changes that may not show up right away on other tests.
They also help with administering radioactive drugs, and that part matters. Getting the dose right, checking the details, and following safety steps are key parts of the job. At times, patients feel a bit nervous about anything radioactive, so the work is done in a calm, clear way, with the focus on making the process easier to understand.
Another part of the service is conducting thyroid scans. These scans are often ordered when the thyroid needs a closer look, such as when symptoms or blood results suggest it may not be working as expected. The goal is to give doctors more useful information to guide next steps.
Rajaa also assists in PET/CT scans. This can be part of wider investigations where doctors need both metabolic information and detailed images. PET/CT is a combined test, and having a team approach helps keep the imaging running smoothly from start to finish.
People coming in for scans usually arrive with a referral from a doctor. Appointments can vary, and at times the scan preparation may include simple instructions to help get the best quality results. Rajaa’s work sits right in the middle of that process—helping patients get through the appointment safely, while supporting the imaging team with the right handling and setup for each test.
Overall, the work focuses on scans that support diagnosis and treatment planning, using nuclear medicine in practical, careful steps. For anyone in the Miranda area who’s booked for a bone scan, thyroid scan, or a nuclear medicine part of a PET/CT, Rajaa helps make the experience more straightforward and less stressful.
