Nuclear medicine vs X ray careers grow with training
Joyce Lain Kennedy explains how radiographers move into nuclear medicine with a year of training. Nuclear medicine technologists use radioactive tracers and gamma cameras for body scans, earning roughly 17 000 to 22 000 a year, with prospects rising as AMA CAHEA accredited programs grant degrees. The field also includes nurses and technologists who gain one year certificates, and future trends point to non X ray based imaging like NMR. Readers can request a leaflet from the American Society of Radiologic Technologists for “The Radiographer: A Career For You.”
