B. Voc. in Radiology & Medical Imaging Technology
Three years Bachelor Degree (B.Voc.) course in Radiology & Medical Imaging Technology
Radiologic technologist are health care professional who performs diagnostic imaging procedure, such as X-ray examinations, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and computed tomography (CT) scans.
An experiential, comprehensive program that focuses on various aspects of medical imaging technology and integrates classroom courses with a one year mandatory internship.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
The program is suitable for students seeking to expand their horizons and pursue a career in the field related to medical research & development or technological research in companies that lead to a breakthrough in diagnostic imaging. Upon completion of this program, students will not only acquire a broad and detailed knowledge in Medical Imaging which will help them become a Next Gen Radiologic Technologist, but will also have the opportunity to develop important practical skills in organising Radiology department.
Students will receive excellent and exhaustive training in relevant fields and be able to assist senior Radiologists. Hands-on training on advance imaging machines like digital X-ray 128 Slice CT Scan, 3 Tesla MRI, DEXA, Mammography, etc. is also facilitated. The completion of internship is mandatory to enable a student to obtain this Degree.
A Radiologic Technologist, also known as Medical Radiation Technologist and as Radiographer, performs imaging of the human body for diagnosis or treating medical problems. Nature of the work includes:
- Diagnostic Radiography which deals with examination of internal organs, bones, cavities and foreign objects; includes cardiovascular imaging and interventional Radiography.
- Sonography using high frequency sound, used in: Obstetrics (including fetal monitoring throughout pregnancy), Gynecology, abdominal, Pediatrics, Cardiac, vascular and musculo-skeletal region imaging.
- Fluoroscopy live motion radiography (constant radiation) usually used to visualize the digestive system; monitor the administration of contrast agents to highlight vessels and organs or to help position devices within the body.
- CT (Computed Tomography) which provides cross-sectional views (slices) of the body; can also reconstruct additional images from those taken to provide more information in either 2-D or 3-D.
- MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) builds a 2-D or 3-D map of different tissue types within the body.
- Nuclear Medicine uses radioactive tracers which can be administered to examine how the body and organs function, for example the Kidneys or Heart.
- Radiotherapy uses radiation to shrink, and sometimes eradicate, cancerous cells/growths in and on the body.
- Mammography uses low dose X-ray systems to produce images of the human mammary glands
