They prepare radioactive drugs and administer them to patients. The radioactive drugs cause abnormal areas of the body to appear different from normal areas in the images.]]> 2017-03-24 13:15:20 UTC https://padlet.com/emrodger73/liu1rhvy45jw/wish/162398464 emrodger73 https://padlet.com/emrodger73/liu1rhvy45jw/wish/162398700 Nuclear medicine technologists typically need an associate’s degree from an accredited nuclear medicine technology program. Formal education programs in nuclear medicine technology or a related healthcare field lead to a certificate, an associate’s degree, or a bachelor’s degree. Technologists must be licensed in about one half of the states; requirements vary by state.]]> 2017-03-24 13:16:05 UTC https://padlet.com/emrodger73/liu1rhvy45jw/wish/162398700 emrodger73 https://padlet.com/emrodger73/liu1rhvy45jw/wish/162399337 The median annual wage for nuclear medicine technologists was $73,360 in May 2015.]]> 2017-03-24 13:18:05 UTC https://padlet.com/emrodger73/liu1rhvy45jw/wish/162399337 emrodger73 https://padlet.com/emrodger73/liu1rhvy45jw/wish/162399537 Employment of nuclear medicine technologists is projected to grow 2 percent from 2014 to 2024, slower than the average for all occupations. An aging population may lead to the need for nuclear medicine technologists who can provide imaging to patients with certain medical conditions, such as heart disease. However, employment growth may be tempered as many medical facilities and third-party payers encourage the use of less costly, noninvasive imaging technologies, such as ultrasound. ]]> 2017-03-24 13:18:37 UTC https://padlet.com/emrodger73/liu1rhvy45jw/wish/162399537 emrodger73 https://padlet.com/emrodger73/liu1rhvy45jw/wish/162400162 Critical Thinking - Using logic and reasoning to identify the strengths and weaknesses of alternative solutions, conclusions or approaches to problems.
