FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1. What is Nuclear Medicine? Nuclear Medicine is part f Diagnstic Medical Imaging. We primarily inject ur imaging agents, called radipharmaceuticals, t lk at the physilgical prcesses ccurring in the rgan f interest at the mlecular level. The radipharmaceutical is an unstable nucleus that underges nuclear decay and is tagged tgether with a pharmaceutical r drug. The pharmaceutical ges t the rgan f interest and the radinuclide emits a gamma ray. Under the gamma camera, the gamma rays emitted frm the patient accumulate int an image n the screen, and the pattern shws mrphlgy and functin f the rgan. We als perfrm radiactive therapy under the directin f a physician t treat disease. PET (psitrn emissin tmgraphy) is part f nuclear medicine as well. PET currently assesses patients fr cancer, heart disease, and neurlgical prblems such as Alzheimer s disease. This special area f nuclear medicine is grwing rapidly and is expected t cntinue the grwth trend due t new radipharmaceuticals nw in develpment. Many f ur cameras are nw hybrid meaning while acquiring a Nuclear Medicine image the equipment can acquire a Cmputed Tmgraphy (CT) r Magnetic resnance imaging (MRI) image t see anatmy at the same time. 2. When is the deadline t apply fr the Nuclear Medicine Technlgy Prgram? We d nt have a deadline; we accept applicatins at any time. The Prgram begins each fall semester, s we clean up the list nce a year in September by sending an email t everyne with a number n the wait list t see if they wuld like t be rlled int the next selective admissins perid.
