作为训练有素的专业团队的成员，核医学技术人员与核医学医师，健康物理学家，放射药剂师和放射化学师紧密合作。他们通常在医院工作，在那里他们使用复杂的探测器和计算机来追踪放射性示踪剂在人体中的移动和定位。他们的职责还包括辐射安全，质量控制，放射性药物的制备和管理，以及用于测量激素，药物或其他成分水平的生物样本的收集和制备。爱荷华州著名的健康科学园区为核医学技术（NMT）计划的学生提供了宝贵的学习机会，并且爱荷华州的计划得到了核医学技术教育计划联合审核委员会的完全认可。
Nuclear medicine technologists are professionals in a medical specialty that uses radioactive tracers for diagnostic, therapeutic, and research purposes. They work hand in hand with nuclear medicine physicians, health physicists, radio pharmacists, and radiochemists as members of highly trained specialty teams.<br><br>They usually work in hospitals, where they use sophisticated detectors and computers to follow the movement and localization of radioactive tracers in the human body. Their responsibilities may include radiation safety, quality control, radiopharmaceutical preparation and administration, and collection and preparation of biological specimens to measure levels of hormones, drugs, or other components. Iowa's renowned health sciences campus offers invaluable learning opportunities for students in the Nuclear Medicine Technology (NMT) Program. Iowa's program is fully accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Educational Programs in Nuclear Medicine Technology.<br><br>You'll have access to the world-class teachers, researchers, and facilities of the university's Carver College of Medicine and University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC), one of the nation's largest public university teaching hospitals.
