About The Position

Nuclear Medicine Technologists administer trace amounts of radiopharmaceuticals to patients and use a special scanner to detect gamma rays emitted by the radiopharmaceuticals, creating images of the body part under examination.

As a technologist in this field, you’ll create diagnostic images by preparing and injecting radiopharmaceutical agents into patients and using a scanner or camera to capture images.

• Prepare and inject radiopharmaceutical agents into patients.
