Nuclear Medicine Technologist

Salary range:

$74,880 – $101,649

Job description:

Nuclear medicine technologists operate cameras that detect and map a radioactive drug in a patient’s body to create diagnostic images. After explaining test procedures to a patient, technologists prepare and administer a dose of radiopharmaceuticals. They position the patient and start a gamma scintillation camera, or scanner, which creates images of the distribution of a radiopharmaceutical as it emits signals from the patient’s body. The images are produced on a computer screen or on film for a physician to interpret.

Work environment:

Nuclear medicine technologists typically work in specialized hospital departments.

Training requirements:

Nuclear medicine technologists are required to complete a one-year certificate program. Some employers may require an associate's or bachelor's degree.
