Nuclear medicine technologists are highly specialized allied health professionals who work closely with nuclear medicine physicians helping to diagnose and evaluate serious conditions, including heart disease and cancer. NMTs specialize in preparing and administering small amounts of radioactive drugs to patients, which are traced through diagnostic scans for imaging or treatment purposes.

Some healthcare employers may prefer nuclear medicine tech job candidates with Basic Life Support (BLS), Registered Technologist in Nuclear Medicine Technology (RT-N-ARRT), Certified Nuclear Medicine Technologist (CNMT-NMTCB) or Computed Tomography (CT-NMTCB), and some may even require specific professional certifications.

Having a Computed Tomography (CT-NMTCB) validates your knowledge and skills as a nuclear medicine tech and your dedication to continuing your education in your chosen field. All of which makes you a more desirable job candidate to healthcare employers.
