The Nuclear Medicine Technologist prepares and administers radiopharmaceuticals to the patient by means of injection, inhalation or ingestion. The organs and tissues process the radiopharmaceuticals and the technologist records their function using specialized cameras. Some studies involve computer recordings and image enhancement. Nuclear Medicine Technologists may also be involved in determining the concentration of various hormones or drugs in the patient's body fluid by using radioactive chemicals, as well as molecular imaging techniques. |
