What's the difference between a radiographer, a radiation therapist and a nuclear medicine tech?i'm from australia and i am wondering for university.

1st is a person who: Takes x rays; a radiation therapist is a person who works with a radiation oncologist to give precise doses of radiation for the different cancers ( for treatment); the nuc med tech is one who works in x ray dept giving radioactive meds for bone scans etc. ( done for diagnostic purposes). Hope this is helpful in making your career choices. Good luck.

many differences: Radiographer takes images with x-rays as well as performing dynamic imaging with fluoroscopy of gasrointestinal or gentourinary structures. This can be expanded to mr and ct, cross sectional anatomic images.Radiation therapists with oncologists irradiate sensitive tumors.Nuclear medicine techs use iradiotracers to functionally image internal organs such as liver, heart, kidneys, lungs, thyroid etc.
