The Role
What you'll do on assignment.
As a travel nuclear medicine technologist, you prepare and administer radiopharmaceuticals, operate gamma cameras and PET/CT scanners, and produce diagnostic images that reveal organ function at the molecular level. Your work supports oncology staging, cardiac perfusion studies, thyroid evaluations, and bone scans.
Travel nuc med assignments typically place you in hospital nuclear medicine departments, cancer centers, or outpatient imaging facilities. You may perform PET/CT, SPECT, myocardial perfusion, and therapeutic I-131 procedures within a single contract.
Because Cuready understands imaging professionals, your recruiter knows the difference between a high-volume PET/CT oncology center and a community hospital nuclear medicine department. They match you to assignments that align with your radiopharmaceutical handling experience and scanner proficiency.

Training & Education
Your path to the field.
From accredited nuclear medicine programs to advanced PET/CT — what the professional journey looks like for nuclear medicine technology.
Your recruiter knows this pathway.
Because Cuready is built by healthcare professionals, we understand what each credential means and how to match your training to the right assignments.
Nuclear medicine technologists complete a JRCNMT-accredited nuclear medicine technology program (Associate's or Bachelor's degree). Programs cover radiopharmaceutical preparation, radiation safety, instrumentation, and clinical imaging across cardiac, oncology, and general nuclear medicine rotations.
The primary credentials are CNMT (Certified Nuclear Medicine Technologist) from the NMTCB, or ARRT (N) from the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists. PET/CT specialty certification is available through both certifying bodies.
