Before each scan I'll inject a tracer known as a radiopharmaceutical. ![]() I love working with people and spending time with patients talking to them, explaining what's happening and making sure the experience isn't too daunting. It meant I graduated feeling prepared for work. I spent several weeks on placement in nuclear medicine departments - large, small, public and private. I chose RMIT because it was the only place in Victoria offering a specialised nuclear medicine degree. At school, my mind thrived on science and I knew I wanted to work in health care. We image for lots of different things to help diagnose and treat patients. We use gamma cameras and PET scanners to look inside the body. HELEN PIPILAKIS VOICE OVER: I'm a nuclear medicine technologist at Monash Health. She performs different medical scans, is seen talking with patients and colleagues, operates equipment and looks at scans results and medical images. VISUAL: Montage on Helen at work in a hospital. ![]() RMIT logo.ĪUDIO: Ambient music, a track called “Let’s Play.” Helen Pipilakis tells us how her enjoyment of science and connecting with people has led her to an exciting career in the field of nuclear medicine. Radiation therapists design treatment plans for radiation delivery to patients, and combine knowledge of the physical and biomedical sciences in order to design and verify treatment plans. Radiation therapy is one of the main treatment options for patients diagnosed with cancer and contributes to the high cancer cure rates in Australia. Common nuclear medicine applications include cardiac stress tests to analyse heart function, bone scans for orthopaedic injuries, and lung scans for blood clots. Nuclear medicine uses very small amounts of radioactive materials to diagnose and treat disease. This degree combines knowledge of physical and biomedical sciences with technical expertise and patient care. Through medical images such as x-rays, MRI, and ultrasound, radiographers assist in the diagnosis and care of patients.
