Nuclear Medicine Nuclear medicine combines chemistry, physics, mathematics, computer technology, and medicine in using radioactivity to diagnose and treat disease. Nuclear medicine technologists work directly with patients, preparing and measuring radioactive materials used to detect the distribution of radioactivity in body tissues and organs.
Individuals who are drawn to a career in nuclear medicine tend to have an interest in computer technology, and enjoy working with people.
Nuclear medicine is unique to other methods of imaging, such as x-rays, as it provides information about the structure and function of virtually every major organ system in the body. Procedures are safe, involve little or no patient discomfort and do not require anesthesia. If such a career appeals to you, our program is a proven training ground for success. |  |
