Nuclear Medicine Technologist Business Cards for CNMT and SNMMI Certified Professionals

Nuclear medicine technologists are the specialized imaging professionals who prepare and administer radiopharmaceuticals — radioactive drugs designed to localize in specific organs or tissues — and operate gamma cameras, SPECT systems, and PET/CT scanners to produce functional images that reveal how organs are working, detect cancer, assess cardiac perfusion, evaluate neurological conditions, and monitor treatment response. Nuclear medicine imaging shows physiology and function rather than anatomy, complementing CT, MRI, and ultrasound.

What Nuclear Medicine Technologist Cards Include

Your Credentials and Certifications

• CNMT (Certified Nuclear Medicine Technologist) — NMTCB (Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board); the primary nuclear medicine technologist credential; requires graduation from an accredited NMT program and passing a comprehensive examination
• NMTCB (Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board) — the credentialing body; "NMTCB" may appear as the certifying body reference
• RT(N) (Registered Technologist — Nuclear Medicine) — ARRT (American Registry of Radiologic Technologists); an alternative pathway to nuclear medicine technology credentials from the radiography pathway; some technologists hold both CNMT and ARRT credentials
• PET (Positron Emission Tomography) specialty certification — both NMTCB and ARRT offer PET specialty examinations; NMTCB NCT(PET) or ARRT RT(N)(PET)
• SNMMI-TS member (Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging — Technologist Section) — the primary professional organization for nuclear medicine technologists
• State license — many states require separate nuclear medicine technology licensure; state license number may be required

Your Clinical Specialties and Modalities

PET/CT (Positron Emission Tomography / Computed Tomography):

• FDG-PET/CT (fluorodeoxyglucose) — the most common PET scan; cancer staging and restaging, lymphoma response assessment
• Cardiac FDG-PET — myocardial viability and inflammation
• Brain FDG-PET — dementia evaluation, Alzheimer's vs. FTD differentiation
• Amyloid PET (Amyvid/Vizamyl/Neuraceq) — Alzheimer's amyloid plaque detection
• Tau PET — Alzheimer's tau protein imaging
• DOTATATE PET (68Ga-DOTATATE) — neuroendocrine tumor (NET) imaging
• PSMA PET (68Ga-PSMA-11, piflufolastat F-18) — prostate cancer staging and recurrence
• NaF-PET (sodium fluoride PET) — bone metastasis detection
• FLT-PET — tumor proliferation imaging

SPECT/CT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography / CT):

• Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI): Tc-99m sestamibi, Tc-99m tetrofosmin — coronary artery disease assessment
• Bone scan (Tc-99m MDP) — metastatic bone disease, fractures, osteomyelitis
• Thyroid scan and uptake (I-123, Tc-99m pertechnetate)
• Hepatobiliary (HIDA/cholescintigraphy) — gallbladder function, bile leak
• Ventilation/perfusion (V/Q scan) — pulmonary embolism evaluation
• Brain perfusion SPECT — stroke, epilepsy focus localization, neuropsychiatric evaluation
• Renal scan (MAG3, DTPA) — renal perfusion and function
• Sentinel node mapping — cancer staging (breast, melanoma, head and neck)
• WBC scan (In-111 WBC, Tc-99m HMPAO WBC) — infection and inflammation

Radiopharmacy and radiopharmaceuticals:

• Radiopharmaceutical preparation and quality control (QC)
• Dose calibrator use and QC
• Radioactive waste management
• Radiation safety and ALARA principles

Therapy (some NMT programs include):

• I-131 thyroid cancer therapy
• I-131 hyperthyroidism treatment
• Y-90 microsphere therapy (SIRT — selective internal radiation therapy)
• Lu-177 DOTATATE therapy (Lutathera) — neuroendocrine tumor treatment
• Ra-223 dichloride (Xofigo) — bone metastasis treatment

Radiation Safety Credentials

• RSO (Radiation Safety Officer) — NRC or state radiation safety officer credential
• CHP (Certified Health Physicist) — ABHP; for those with advanced radiation safety roles
• ARRT RT(N) — dual-credential for crossover technologists
