Bachelor [Nuclear Medicine Technology] From University of Wisconsin

Highly simplified, a typical procedure would involve discussing the procedure with the patient, injecting the radiopharmaceutical which localizes in the area of interest, then is imaged using a special camera.? It is something like taking an X-ray from the inside-out.

Some of the primary responsibilities for nuclear medical technologists (NMTs) are:

• Prepare and administer radiopharmaceuticals
• Work directly with patients throughout the procedure
• Work with sophisticated instrumentation and computers to generate digital images
• Evaluate new procedures
