专业介绍

Nuclear medicine is an exciting health care field that uses advanced scientific methods to scan and create images of the human body. Technologists are experts in not only taking but helping to analyze these scans to help physicians arrive at a diagnosis and a treatment.

The Nuclear Medicine Science program offers an accredited curriculum leading to a Bachelor of Science degree. The mission of the program is to prepare individuals with the clinical and didactic experience necessary for successful entry into the Nuclear Medicine Technology profession.

The goal of the Nuclear Medicine Science program is to enable the student to confidently possess the knowledge and skills necessary to safely perform a wide variety of clinical procedures. Students will also be able to effectively communicate with patients with competent skills in: radiopharmaceutical dosage, calculation and administration, the operation of imaging devices, and operation of radiation detection monitoring devices.

Nuclear Medicine Technology is a medical specialty that uses safe, micro-quantities of radioactive pharmaceuticals for diagnosis, management, treatment and prevention of many serious diseases. The Technology imaging techniques provide information about both the function and structure of every organ in the body, often identifying organ abnormalities very early in the progression of a disease. This early detection allows a disease to be treated early in its course, when there may be a more positive prognosis.

The student choosing Nuclear Medicine Technology as a career should have a strong interest in the natural sciences, mathematics, and computer technology as well as the desire for close patient contact, direct interaction with physicians and other healthcare professionals. Immediately upon graduation, a student is eligible to apply for national certification/registration examinations given by the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB) or the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT).

As a highly-specialized member of the healthcare profession, graduates from this degree program have several vocational options, including but not limited to, Nuclear Medicine Technology (hospitals, clinics, research laboratories, regulatory agencies), entry into medical or graduate schools and careers in education or administration in the specialty.
