Program Description

This 18-month, full-time program leads to certification in Nuclear Medicine Technology and Computed Tomography. Combining theoretical training in principles of medical imaging with practical, hands-on clinical experience, our program will prepare students with a strong background in math, chemistry and other sciences for a career as a nuclear medicine technologist with CT experience.

Nuclear medicine is a specialized area of radiology that uses very small amounts of radioactive materials, or radiopharmaceuticals, to examine organ function and structure. You will have the opportunity to learn about routine diagnostic examinations, SPECT and PET and PET-CT imaging, radiopharmacy, in-vitro procedures, and therapeutic and theranostic applications — in one of the top diagnostic laboratories in the United States. Graduates are eligible to take national certification examinations.

You will obtain first-hand, clinical experience in nuclear medicine procedures at several of our facilities, as well as other clinical facilities throughout the Baltimore metropolitan region: The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Johns Hopkins Outpatient Center, Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, Johns Hopkins Howard County General, Franklin Square Hospital Center, Saint Agnes Hospital, Sinai Hospital of Baltimore, Chesapeake Imaging, Baltimore Washington Hospital, Triad Isotopes and Anne Arundel Medical Center.
