They must have a strong understanding of radiation physics, computer technology, and chemistry. A certification from the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB) or the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) is typically required. Prior to becoming a Nuclear Medicine Technologist, individuals may hold roles such as a Radiologic Technologist, Medical Imaging Technologist, or even a Nuclear Medicine Technician, all roles which provide relevant experience in imaging technology and patient care.
