What is nuclear radiology?

Nuclear radiology is a medical specialty that uses small amounts of radioactive materials, called radiopharmaceuticals, to diagnose and treat diseases. It involves imaging techniques such as PET and SPECT scans, which help visualize the function of organs and tissues in the body. Nuclear radiologists interpret these images to detect abnormalities, monitor treatment progress, and sometimes administer targeted radioactive therapies for conditions like cancer.

How do you become a nuclear radiologist?

To become a nuclear radiologist, one must complete a bachelor's degree, attend medical school to earn an MD or DO degree, complete a residency in radiology, and then pursue a fellowship in nuclear radiology. Certification by passing the American Board of Radiology exam is also required, along with maintaining licensure and staying current with continuing education.
