Nuclear Medicine & Radiation Oncology

PET/CT, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy and dosimetry.

Units in this group

Nuclear Medicine

Patients undergoing radiopharmaceutical imaging and therapy.

PET/CT

Oncology, cardiac and neurologic patients undergoing positron emission tomography with CT.

Radiation Therapy

Oncology patients receiving external beam radiation treatment.

Medical Dosimetry

Treatment planning for radiation oncology patients.

How these units differ

They look interchangeable on a job description and are not. The single most common cause of a failed placement in this group is a req that names the unit but not the acuity, the ratio or the equipment — so a candidate arrives qualified on paper and unable to hold the assignment.

What to specify when you send the req

We ask for patient population, acuity, ratio, equipment and shift pattern at intake, plus the exact credential the unit requires rather than the job title. If you are not sure what to specify, describe the patients and we will work backwards to the credential.

Licensure in this division

Imaging licensure is state-by-state with no portability. Roughly eleven states do not license individual technologists at all, regulating instead at facility or equipment-operator level — where that applies, verification of registry status and continuing competency falls to you rather than a state board. ARRT is the primary registry across modalities.

How we work these reqs

Every candidate is spoken to before submittal, with licensure, certifications and unit-specific competency confirmed up front. Rates sit inside the ranges on our published cost breakdown.
