The Nuclear Medicine Technology Program at Mayo Clinic School of Health Sciences provides specialized education in diagnostic imaging using radioactive tracers. The program combines classroom instruction with hands-on clinical training in Mayo Clinic’s advanced imaging facilities. Students learn to perform nuclear medicine procedures such as PET (Positron Emission Tomography) and SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography) scans. The curriculum includes training in radiation safety, radiopharmaceutical preparation, imaging instrumentation, and patient care. Students work closely with experienced nuclear medicine technologists and physicians, gaining exposure to a wide range of clinical cases. The program emphasizes precision, safety, and adherence to regulatory standards in nuclear imaging. Graduates are prepared for careers in hospitals, diagnostic imaging centers, and specialized nuclear medicine departments.
