School of Nuclear Medicine Technology The Central Maine Medical Center School of Nuclear Medicine Technology offers a challenging and rewarding career opportunity for the motivated Allied Health professional in the field of Nuclear Medicine. CMMC offers an 18 month program of advanced studies in Nuclear Medicine Technology including Computed Tomography (CT). Nuclear Medicine is a specialized branch of radiology concerned with diagnostic and therapeutic applications of radioactive materials to diagnose and treat disease. CT is a specialized branch of radiology which uses cross sectional x-ray images to view organs and other structures within the body. It is used in combination with other imaging such as Nuclear Medicine SPECT procedures and PET imaging. The CMMC School of Nuclear Medicine Technology was founded in 1996 as a result of a rapidly changing healthcare environment. The objectives of this program are to provide a formal education in Nuclear Medicine Technology including clinical practice in the Nuclear Medicine Department, which provides current and relevant information to be a successful technologist. This program will graduate a multi-competent technologist with highly marketable skills, who is prepared to meet patient needs in the changing healthcare environment. In 2009 the program was expanded to include classroom and clinical education in Computed Tomography. By combining both fields this will meet the expanding needs of Nuclear Medicine Technology which includes dual imaging in PET/CT. Upon graduation from the program students will be eligble to apply for national certfication in both Nuclear Medicine Technology and CT. The school is fully accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Nuclear Medicine Technology.
