Overview of Program
PET imaging and general Nuclear Medicine reporting is available across the Brisbane campuses with a large volume of studies performed daily and access to multiple meetings including lung cancer and lymphoma. The fellowship provides opportunities to work in general Nuclear Medicine, PET/CT, Theranostics, and to perform diagnostic CT.
Nuclear Medicine & PET Program Director:
Dr Myles Webb
Goals/Objectives
Our program prepares radiologists for advanced nuclear medicine and PET imaging services. Goals include training in PET/CT, general nuclear medicine, theranostics, and diagnostic CT. Fellows benefit from 1:1 teaching with sub-specialist radiologists, engage in self-directed study through a formal curriculum, and participate in multidisciplinary meetings, including discussions on lung cancer and lymphoma cases.
Fellows will manage a high-volume caseload of nuclear medicine and PET/CT studies, including routine and urgent cases, under consultant supervision. They will gain experience in providing consults, managing radiopharmaceutical administration, and interpreting diagnostic CT within hybrid imaging contexts.
The program emphasises hands-on learning in theranostics, including patient management and therapy delivery. Additionally, fellows will develop radiopharmacy skills through the compounding of radiopharmaceuticals, enhancing their understanding of tracer production and quality control.
Fellows will gain exposure to both hospital and community-based nuclear medicine, with opportunities in advanced applications of PET/CT and theranostics. They will also participate in educational activities and research projects, preparing them for the integration of advanced nuclear medicine and PET skills into private radiology practice.
Upon completion, fellows will be proficient in supervising and interpreting nuclear medicine and PET/CT studies and confident in performing theranostic procedures with foundational radiopharmacy skills.

Application
To apply, please provide an introductory letter and curriculum vitae to Dr Greg Amos, Queensland X-Ray Medical Fellowship Director, greg.amos@qldxray.com.au.
The fellowship with Queensland X-Ray has provided me with invaluable training across a variety of hospital and community practice settings. Throughout the fellowship, I’ve had the privilege of being mentored by some of Australia’s leading radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians, whose guidance has been instrumental in shaping my clinical expertise. This fellowship has been a key part of my professional journey, equipping me with the knowledge and skills to excel in Nuclear Medicine and PET.
