– Associate Degree & Academic Certificate
 
Why choose our Nuclear Medicine Technology program?
Nuclear Medicine uses radioactive materials, known as radiopharmaceuticals, to diagnose and treat disease.   Once the radiopharmaceuticals are administered to the patient, whether it’s intravenously, orally or through inhalation, they allow the technologist to use specialized cameras and equipment in order to obtain information about the structure and function of nearly every major organ system in the body.  It is the ability to show the organ’s function that makes it different from most other types of imaging, such as X-rays.
