NM: Nuclear Medicine
NM 100 - Physics and Radiation Safety in Nuclear Medicine
Technology (5)
Prerequisite: acceptance into the clinical program
Introduces the atom and its structure within the context of Nuclear Medicine focusing on
nuclear structure, stabilities, radioactive series, radioactive decay, and conversion laws
and decay schemes. Radioactivity will be studied in terms of the exponential decay law,
calculation of the mass of a radioactive sample, specific activity, half-life, and statistics
of radioactive decay. The production of radionuclides will be presented with emphasis on
methods of production and principles of a generator. Include regulations, principles and
practices of radiation protection, and information particular to each radiologic specialty and/
or modality.

NM 103 - Nuclear Medicine Techniques I (4)
Prerequisites: acceptance into the clinical program
Introduces all aspects of nuclear imaging related to skeletal, cardiac, respiratory,
gastrointestinal, genitourinary, endocrine system, nervous system, and hematopoietic system
as well as therapy procedures, oncology imaging, and infection imaging procedures. The
procedures, protocols, instrumentation, and radiopharmaceuticals used in nuclear medicine
imaging of these systems will be studied in detail. Some of the pathologic conditions imaged
in Nuclear Medicine will also be presented.

NM 220 - CT Principles & Instrumentation (3)
Prerequisites: NM 204 and NM 205 OR grade of NMT program
Provides in-depth study of the physical principles and instrumentation in computed
tomography. Covers the production of x-rays and their interactions with matter. Provides
information on data acquisition and image reconstruction, processing, and quality. Addresses
CT scanner components and operation, scanning factors, and their applications.
1032 NM220-1
Tu
5:30pm-7:30pm 15-week
NM 222 - Cross-sectional Anatomy (3)
Prerequisites: NM 204 and NM 205 OR graduate of NMT program
Provides in-depth coverage of cross-sectional anatomy to include the head, neck, chest,
abdomen, pelvis, spine, and extremities. Students will become accustomed to viewing anatomy
of regions of the body in the different anatomical planes typically produced in cross-sectional
imaging. In addition, pathology will be covered as it relates to its presentation on axial images.
Special emphasis will be placed upon correlating and recognizing anatomical structures as they
appear on medical images produced with CT, MRI, nuclear medicine, and ultrasound.
1033 NM222-1
W
4:30pm-6:30pm 15-week
NM 224 - CT Protocols & Applications (3)
Prerequisites: NM 204 and NM 205 OR graduate of NMT program
Covers the various imaging protocols utilized to produce anatomy and pathology on CT
images specific to the central nervous system, neck musculoskeletal system, abdomen and
pelvis, musculoskeletal system, thorax, and interventional and special procedures. The student
will also become familiar with contrast administration guidelines and timing issues related to
dynamic imaging. Spiral CT, 3D reconstruction procedures, and vascular imaging are discussed
and compared with routine imaging of the same anatomical regions.
