Background:

  • The Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board (NMTCB) conducted a task analysis survey in 2002.
  • This initiative aimed to ensure the ongoing validity of its entry-level examination for nuclear medicine technologists.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To update the task analysis for nuclear medicine technology.
  • To inform the development of the NMTCB's entry-level examination.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was distributed to 1,800 certified nuclear medicine technologists (CNMTs).
  • Respondents reported task frequency, criticality, and professional performance.
  • The Kane weighting method was used to determine task importance ratings.

Main Results:

  • A comprehensive task analysis for nuclear medicine technology was developed.
  • Lists of commonly performed procedures, equipment, and pharmaceuticals were compiled.
  • The analysis identified tasks performed by nuclear medicine technologists versus other professionals.

Conclusions:

  • The new task analysis will serve as the foundation for the NMTCB's entry-level examination starting March 2004.
  • The findings provide an updated overview of the procedures, equipment, and pharmaceuticals integral to nuclear medicine technology practice.
