Nuclear Medicine Technology
The A.A.S. and certificate programs are being discontinued
and no new students will be admitted into the program.
A.A.S. Degree (Career)
Prepares students as entry-level nuclear medicine technologists in a specialized
area of diagnostic imaging which includes both body structure and function.
Nuclear medicine technologists perform procedures to assist physicians in the
diagnosis and treatment of patients. Recently the nuclear medicine field has
expanded to include molecular imaging using positron emission tomography
(PET), and fusion imaging using hybrid scanners, such as PET/CT and SPECT/CT.
• Students must complete their creditEnglish and Mathematics within the first
24 credits.
• One course must meet the cultural competence graduation requirement.
• CORE: The General Education COREis that foundation of the higher education
curriculumproviding a coherent intellectual experience for all students. Students
should check with an advisor or the transfer institution (ARTSYS) before selecting
General Education CORE requirements.

*In order to meet the new demands within the field accepted student
will dedicate three (3) semesters or 12 months to the NMT curriculum and
the two (2) semesters (6 months) to the dedicated CT curriculum. Upon
completion students will earn an A.A.S in Nuclear Medicine Technology and a
certificate in Computed Tomography. Graduates will be qualified to take the
national certification exams for nuclear medicine technology and the post
primary certification in Computed Tomography. The combination of focus
meets the expanding needs of nuclear medicine technology that includes
dual modality imaging. The A.A.S. and certificate programs are being
discontinued and no new students will be admitted into the program.
