radiopharmacist

    0.01 sec.
radiopharmacist
[-fär′məsist]
a person responsible for formulating and dispensing prescribed radioactive tracers and for the clinical aspects of radiopharmacy. Radiopharmacists are required to receive training in radioactive tracer techniques, the safe handling of radioactive materials, the preparation and quality control of drugs for administration to humans, and the basic principles of nuclear medicine. Some states require that radioactive drugs be dispensed by licensed pharmacists only. Others recognize radiopharmaceutic specialists who are not necessarily graduates of a school of pharmacy.
