Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Radiologic Sciences - Nuclear Medicine Concentration] From Thomas Jefferson University

The resulting images are evaluated by a physician for disease diagnosis. Nuclear medicine technologists also manipulate and administer radioactive materials, operate scanners and related equipment, evaluate images for quality and accuracy and interact with patients and their families, physicians and other healthcare professionals.

Nuclear medicine technologists work directly with healthy and critically ill inpatients and outpatients of all age, in small, low-lit rooms, injecting and positioning patients in noninvasive ways. They often stand or sit at a monitor, operating gamma and PET scanners. There is exposure to radiation areas.

The mission of the Nuclear Medicine Technology Program is to deliver a high quality, comprehensive, didactic and clinical curriculum in accordance with the standards and guidelines of the Joint Review Committee on Educational Programs in Nuclear Medicine Technology. In addition, we aim to provide students with the opportunity to achieve eligibility status for certification as a nuclear medicine technologist by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists and the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board.

The Program’s faculty and instructors are dedicated to educating competent, knowledgeable, entry-level technologists who demonstrate critical thinking, effective communication skills, exceptional patient care and a commitment to life-long learning.
