Nuclear Medicine Technologists are trained in the use of diagnostic facility for the detection and treatment of various cancer types. They administer radioactive drug injections called “tracers” that reach tumorous tissues that can be detected by gamma radiation cameras to capture accurate images of organs isolating the nature and extend of the cancer conditions, allowing oncologists to prescribe a more appropriate treatment that if administered with such visual scan. The process also assist doctors learn how a patient is responding to the treatment.
