Purchasing analytical skills

Analyte half-lives need to be considered to arrange for rapid collection, transfer to the laboratory, and radioanalytical chemistry processing before they decay to poorly-detectable low amounts. Types of emitted radiation control the detector that must be purchased, calibrated, and operated. Radiochemists and radiation-detector operators who commonly handle a specific category of radionuclides become skilled in purifying and counting these radionuclides. 

As health care technology becomes more and more complex and complicated, a clinical engineer can act as a translator between information systems, medical equipment, and the patient. Clinical engineers bring creativity, curiosity, and analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills to the medical field. They may serve on health care system-wide committees that relate to process and performance improvement, quality control and inspection, new technology purchases, and patient safety.
