Extra training that opens doors
PET (positron emission tomography)
Advanced cancer imaging, often combined with CT (computed tomography). Few people trained, steady demand.
CT (computed tomography)
Many nuclear medicine cameras are now hybrid machines, so CT (computed tomography) skills are expected. A short post-diploma course.
Radiopharmacy
Preparing and quality-testing the tracers. Some technologists move into commercial radiopharmacies.
Theranostics
Using radioactive drugs to treat cancer, not just image it. A fast-growing area in big cancer centres.
