Welcome.
Diagnostic Medical Imaging Nuclear Medicine (DMIN) is the scientific and clinical discipline involving
the diagnostic and therapeutic use of radionuclides. Simply put, nuclear
medicine specialists help treat disease and image the body.
In the Diagnostic Medical Imaging Nuclear Medicine (DMIN) program, students
learn the skills necessary to produce high-quality diagnostic images
of patients. Nuclear medicine students are instructed to deliver compassionate
patient care; abstract data from patient records; prepare, calculate
and administer radiopharmaceuticals; operate scanning equipment; perform
computer acquisitions; analyze patient studies; and assist the physician
when necessary.
The curriculum for this 15-month program includes clinical nuclear medicine,
nuclear medicine procedures, nuclear physics, radiation detection with
imaging and non-imaging instrumentation, radiation safety, radiation
biology, radioactive material regulations, radiopharmacy, positron emission
tomography, computer applications and patient care.
The student also spends three days a week at the clinical affiliate
and two days a week at the college.
All applicants must complete the PSB-HOAE exam. For upcoming
