Nuclear Medicine Technology

Undergrad major

You’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.
