What is a nuclear medicine technologist?
A nuclear medicine technologist is an important member of the allied health team. This health care professional is trained not only as a specialist in patient care, technical skills and administrative functions, but also as a health care specialist with a strong background in the medical sciences.
A nuclear medicine technologist uses special equipment, procedures and radiopharmaceuticals to analyze patients’ physiological problems. Under the supervision of a physician, a nuclear medicine technologist also directs or participates in the daily operation of the nuclear medicine department and works closely with other health professionals.
