Students studying nuclear medicine in the Waters College of Health Professions at 精东 will have access to a state-of-the-art piece of equipment after a donation from Biodex Medical Systems. 

The Department of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Sciences received a dose calibrator from Biodex Medical Systems in August. Valued at $8,000, the equipment is used in all nuclear medicine departments in health care. 

鈥淓very dosage of a nuclear medicine radiopharmaceutical must be measured using this piece of equipment prior to administering the radiopharmaceutical to a patient,鈥� said Rochelle Lee, Ed.D., nuclear medicine program director who helped secure the donation thanks to a longstanding relationship with Biodex Medical Systems. 

鈥淗aving this state-of-the-art equipment in the nuclear medicine lab gives the students on campus a real-world experience and prepares them for the clinical environment prior to being introduced to the clinical environment,鈥� she continued. 鈥淩esearch supports the fact that students are better prepared when they have an opportunity to simulate a procedure or have hands-on experience prior to performing tasks in a live setting.鈥�
