Nuclear Medicine Schools

Nuclear Medicine Technologists administer pharmaceuticals known as radionuclides to patients in order to treat and diagnose illnesses and pathologies. Through the observation of chemical interactions that occur and the way they behave in the body, a diagnosis can be made. To learn more about individual programs, you may request information directly from nuclear medicine schools and find out about course offerings, online options, and more.

If; however, you have a program in your state or you are willing to relocate, take the first step and learn more about their programs.

I am not sure nuclear medicine school is the right choice for me? I am interested in medical imaging in general, but overwhelmed about the options?

Choosing which medical imaging program that is right for you can be overwhelming at first. Under the larger umbrella of radiology there are three main segments: radiography, diagnostic medical sonography (ultrasound), and nuclear medicine. Below these three there are even more branches: The common branches under radiography include CT (Computed Tomography), MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), X-Ray (traditional radiography), and Mammography (Breast imaging). Ultrasound includes, vascular sonography, cardiac sonography, obstetric (ob-gyn), ophthalmology, neurosonology, and the list goes on. Nuclear Medicine is also closely related to radiation therapy. This is a simplified, high level view of the many paths to take among your radiology school options.
