Duties and Responsibilities: Nuclear Medicine Technologists
prepare and administer radio pharmaceuticals (radioactive substances) to detect
and treat disease. They then position
equipment over patients to make images. These
pictures allow physicians to identify abnormal areas. This helps in diagnosing illness. Nuclear medicine technologists explain these
tests to the patients and administer radioactive doses by mouth or
injection. They also perform laboratory
tests on tissue samples. They must
follow strict safety regulations due to the dangers of radiation effects to
their bodies and organs.
Salary: $28,000 - $42,000
Education: Students should take the most challenging
science, math, and English courses available in high school. Nuclear medicine
technology training programs vary in length from one to four years. One year programs that lead to certification
are offered by hospitals. Associate and
bachelor degrees are offered in colleges and universities.
No I would not like to be this because this is just not my
type of work so no thank you.
