Nuclear Medicine Technology
Nuclear medicine is a branch of radiology that uses radioactive materials to image
the body and in some cases to cause a therapeutic effect. Nuclear medicine technologists
prepare radioactive drugs and administer them to patients for imaging or therapeutic
purposes. They work in hospitals, imaging centers and sometimes in physician offices.
