Course summary
Nuclear Medicine is the profession that utilizes radio pharmaceuticals, scintillation cameras and computers to image and quantify various physiologic processes throughout the body. The nuclear medicine technologist administers radio pharmaceuticals to patients, positions them for images and operates the cameras and computers to produce the images and analyze the data. They have a detailed knowledge of radiation safety procedures and regulations and radio-pharmacy. The images and data technologists obtain provide physicians with information on injuries and disease processes affecting organ function. In both the hospital and clinical setting, nuclear medicine technologists perform general and cardiac nuclear procedures on adult and pediatric patients.
