Try an AI tool on one task you'd normally do by hand: "Calculate, measure, and record radiation dosage or radiopharmaceuticals received, used, and disposed, using computer and following physician's prescription". Learn one AI tool well enough to show it in an interview, for: "Process cardiac function studies, using computer". Get visibly better at your human core: "Administer radiopharmaceuticals or radiation intravenously to detect or treat diseases, using radioisotope equipment, under direction of a physician". Rewrite the top of your CV around judgment, people and decisions, not routine output. Based on 17 O*NET tasks for "Nuclear Medicine Technologists" (SOC 29-2033.00). LLM alone: 7% of tasks; with AI tools: 52%. Projections are a model, not official statistics. How we calculate this · Data version 2026-10
