| VCU Rad Sci leads the way in procedural simulation |
| |
| With the addition of the PickerŪ 2000 imaging system gamma camera to the
nuclear medicine program summer 2007, the Department of Radiation Sciences offers procedural simulation
abilities to all three of its programs. Students in nuclear medicine, radiation therapy, and radiography
all gain experience on working with the complex equipment before entering the clinical environment,
ensuring that they have the experience and competence to provide quality patient care. |
