Bachelor of Science in Nuclear Medicine Technology

Nuclear Medicine Technologists work on the cutting edge of the radiology field to more precisely diagnose and treat patients with diseases from cancer to Parkinson’s. These healthcare professionals work with a growing number of radiopharmaceuticals and high-tech imaging instruments to help pinpoint health problems.

If you would like an active career where no two days are the same and your objective is caring for and treating patients, this may be the right career for you. UW-La Crosse’s accredited program offers three years of solid academic and laboratory preparation at UWL and one year of internship experience at a partnering clinical site.

You’ve likely have heard of an X-Ray, CT scan or MRI. These are only a few of the tools used to visualize what’s happening inside of a patient’s body. A nuclear medicine technologist uses not only images, but also radiopharmaceuticals — radioisotopes bound to biological molecules — that trace the function of a particular spot in the body whether in the lungs, heart, kidney or other areas. Nuclear medicine technology professionals work with a team of doctors, nurses and technologists to diagnose and treat patients. Nuclear medical procedures are safe, both for the patient and the technologist.
