Nuclear Medicine Technologist Jobs in Houston, TX

A Nuclear Medicine Technologist plays an integral role in the radiology field. They are responsible for preparing and administering radiopharmaceuticals, and operate imaging technology to create images of a patient's body. These images help physicians and radiologists diagnose and manage various medical conditions. This involves positioning patients for procedures, monitoring their condition during the process, and ensuring their safety. They may also be responsible for maintaining equipment and adhering to radiation safety measures. Some Nuclear Medicine Technologists might specialize in specific procedures such as PET scans.

Important skills for a Nuclear Medicine Technologist include attention to detail, technical skills, physical stamina, and good interpersonal skills. They must have a strong understanding of radiation physics, computer technology, and chemistry. A certification from the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB) or the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) is typically required. Prior to becoming a Nuclear Medicine Technologist, individuals may hold roles such as a Radiologic Technologist, Medical Imaging Technologist, or even a Nuclear Medicine Technician, all roles which provide relevant experience in imaging technology and patient care.
