核医学技术理学硕士

核医学技术理学硕士课程是美国第一个获得硕士入门水平的课程。我们还是阿拉巴马州唯一的核医学技术计划。我们是高度专业的诊断和治疗学位。您将进入一个利用放射性核素成像和治疗体内疾病的行业，并被《美国新闻与世界报道》评为“最佳医疗工作20强”之一。您的领域开始于1950年代，最初是和平使用放射性材料，是医生用来诊断，分期和治疗疾病的主要分子成像工具。
In order for doctors to diagnose and treat diseases effectively, they sometimes rely on radioactive materials. But to do this, they need trained experts to make sure both the patients and the providers stay safe. We can give you that high-level expertise to work with radionuclides and become a qualified entry-level technologist.<br><br>To say that we've been around the block is a gross understatement. Fact is, we were the first nuclear medicine technology program in the U.S. to rise to a master's entry-level status. And we remain the only one in Alabama. Our expert staff can provide you with a solid background through both didactic and clinical curriculums. You'll receive instruction about topics such as medical radiation physics, radiation detection instrumentation, pharmacology, anatomy, and physiology, among others. Your directed clinical practice will give you much-needed experience in radiopharmacy, in vivo procedures, instrumentation quality control, and applied radiation safety procedures. We'll also teach you to operate the premier molecular imaging tool that physicians use to diagnose, stage, and treat disease. Finally, to prepare you better for the real world, we're going to give you professional development courses, plus research opportunities. This program can help you prepare for certification exams offered through the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board.
