medicine technologists work with radioactive drugs, known as
radiopharmaceuticals, to help physicians and surgeons diagnose a
patient s condition. For example, they may inject
radiopharmaceuticals into the bloodstream of a patient with foot
pain and then use special scanning equipment that captures images
of the bones; a radiologist interprets the scan results, based on
the concentration of radioactivity appearing in the image, to
identify the source of the patient s pain.Nuclear medicine
technologists also deliver radiopharmaceuticals in prescribed doses
to specific areas, such as tumors, to treat medical conditions.
Internal radiation treatment may be used in conjunction with, or as
an alternative to, surgery. Guaranteed Hours: Contract Weeks:91
