Nuclear medicine professionals take and read X-rays.
The study and execution of diagnostic procedures designed to give healthcare professionals a view of the inside of the human body without the use of invasive procedures, known as nuclear medicine, has become a popular career choice in the United States. Nuclear medicine professionals operate X-ray machines and magnetic resonance imaging devices and administer radiopharmaceutical drugs. Probably because these positions predominantly require hands on activity, very few online educational programs exist for this field.
Saint Joseph's College of Maine
Available nuclear medicine career tracts include both an associate's degree and a bachelor's degree program in radiologic science administration. Radiology technician certification is a prerequisite to degree completion of either program.
