Nuclear Medicine Technology
Undergrad majorYou’ve likely heard of an X-ray, CT scan or MRI. These are only a few tools to visualize what’s happening inside the body anatomically. Nuclear medicine is a branch of radiology that takes images for anatomical purpose and injects radiopharmaceuticals — radioactivity bound to biological molecules — that trace the function of a particular disease. Aligned with the anatomical images, radiopharmaceuticals provide more sensitive and detailed images to see the disease at the molecular and cellular level. This allows disease diagnosis in earlier stages and helps treat diseases more effectively. Radiopharmaceuticals are also used for high-precision cancer treatments. Nuclear medicine procedures are safe for the patient and the technologist.
Radiologic Science
Radiologic Science is a broad term incorporating various professions that use technologies such as ultrasound, CTs and MRIs to diagnose or treat patients. These professions require the ability to acquire technical skills and understanding while also developing excellent communication abilities to work with patients and healthcare team members from diverse backgrounds.
