Bachelor of Science - Nuclear Medicine Technology

Program Description

Nuclear medicine technologists work hand in hand with nuclear medicine physicians, health physicists, radio pharmacists, and radiochemists as members of highly trained specialty teams.

They usually work in hospitals, where they use sophisticated detectors and computers to follow the movement and localization of radioactive tracers in the human body. Their responsibilities also may include radiation safety, quality control, radiopharmaceutical preparation and administration, and collection and preparation of biological specimens to measure levels of hormones, drugs, or other components.
