Nuclear Medicine Technologist

The Job

And you'll be handling radioactive materials safely, especially when dosing patients with radiopharmaceuticals ; both orally and intravenously ; exactly as the licensed physician prescribes and authorizes. You follow ALARA standards to keep radiation exposure as low as reasonably achievable.
