Taxonomy: Nuclear Medicine Technologists/Technicians

Individuals who prepare and administer doses of radiopharmaceuticals to patients and then monitor the characteristics and functions of tissues or organs in which the drugs localize using cameras that detect and map the radioactive drug in a patient's body and create diagnostic images. Abnormal areas show higher or lower-than-expected concentrations of radioactivity. Radiopharmaceuticals are compounds that utilize purified radionuclides which emit radiation spontaneously.
