Bachelor of Medical Radiation Science (Nuclear Medicine) (pre 2016)
The University of Newcastle
About
This program is for continuing students only and from 2016 is replaced by the Bachelor of Medical Radiation Science (Honours) (Nuclear Medicine) (40011).Nuclear Medicine uses a mix of sophisticated medical imaging technology such as scintigraphy, SPECT, hybrid PET/CT, people skills and radioactive chemical compounds (radiopharmaceuticals) to image and/or treat a wide variety of injuries or diseases ranging from elite athletes with sports injuries, to cardiac and brain studies, to cancer patients.
