Nuclear medicine combines chemistry, physics, mathematics, computer technology and medicine in using radioactivity to diagnose and treat disease. Nuclear medicine technologists prepare and administer radiopharmaceuticals and use radiation detection devices to provide information about the structure and function of virtually every major organ system within the body.
