Nuclear Pharmacist Resume
When some illnesses are hard to diagnose even with X-rays and scanning, such patients are prescribed with radiopharmaceuitical. These types of drugs contain a small amount of radioactive material called tracers. These tracers help in detecting the actual problem in a patient's body and help in diagnosing the real cause. All types of body scans such as heart scan, breast scan, bone scan, prostate cancer imaging, and renal imaging are possible with the radiopharmaceuticals. Such patients are managed by nuclear pharmacists and they are also called as radiopharmacist. Owing to the radioactive nature of the drug, this job falls under special category of pharmacy and requires the pharmacist to have knowledge of it.
