Nuclear Medicine is both diagnostic and therapeutic.
Isotopes can be introduced into the body to allow specific imaging or to see how the carrier behaves in the body.
Isotopes are used for radiotherapy.
Neither use case is connected to nuclear power plants.

I don't know about shared, but when I was in the NHS our Medical Physics department oversaw a delivery service across our area of radioactive material. It was mainly materials for radio-isotonic scans, but they would also manage other relevant items.

The more affordable medical device, whose AI-processed images are similar to those from a typical instrument with a strong magnetic field, could increase #MRI access.
I remember 20 years ago when we thought $20 million was cheap! #medicalphysics
#CPR saves lives. A new technique that relies on removing blood and sending it back with #OxygenatedBlood has a number of advantages over the old more physical technique. For starters, oxygen more easily gets to the #brain. #medicalphysics

Retrospective #MotionCorrection for Brain #MRI: A Technical Description of SAMER by Daniel Polak (Siemens Healthineers), Stephen Cauley (Massachusetts General Hospital, MA, USA), and colleagues.
The SAMER algorithm will reduce the computational burden of motion estimation by leveraging an ultra-fast scout scan along with the repeated acquisition of a limited number of additional k-space encoding lines.
