This panel introduces nuclear engineering students to the medical side of their field, an area that many may not have explored deeply in their academic training. The panel covers therapeutic applications of radiation (cancer treatment, targeted radionuclide therapy), diagnostic imaging (PET, SPECT, nuclear medicine), radiopharmaceutical development, and the radiological physics underlying clinical medical practice. The goal is to give students a broader appreciation of the full scope of nuclear engineering careers in medicine.
