Medical Imaging Technology
Bachelor of Science in Medical Imaging Technology
Degree Requirements
The medical imaging technologist in radiological sciences is a skilled radiographer qualified to provide patient service in vascular and intervention procedures, computed tomography, ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging. These areas represent the most advanced imaging in diagnostic radiology.
Effective medical imaging technologists utilize principles of radiation protection as they determine exposure factors and position patients for a variety of examinations. They are also capable of assisting in surgical procedures performed during the examination, assessing the technical quality of the image, and providing basic patient care. The technologist must function as a member of the health care team. Graduates receive a Bachelor of Science degree and are eligible to take specialty examinations, depending on their major area of concentration.
Students may complete the entire program at Indiana University Kokomo.
