Program description

The Bachelor of Science in Radiology & Imaging Technology (BSc RIT) program prepares students to work in radio imaging diagnostic centres, namely in hospitals and clinics.

Both theoretical and practical learning modalities are used to teach human physiology, as well as the technical aspects of equipment functionality. Students acquire knowledge in classrooms, laboratories, clinical settings and field trips. Assignments, examinations and practicals are used for evaluation.

The program offers foundational courses on the human body and the physics that take place in diagnostic imaging.

Students are trained to use diagnostic imaging equipment such as X-rays, mammography & ultrasound sonography (USG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT). Training utilizes modern standards, with computed radiology (CR) and digital radiology.

Specialized techniques, such as using contrast media (i.e. cholangiography), angiography, image post-processing and imaging on various parts of the body are taught. Basic instruction on nuclear medicine and interventional radiology is given.

Job preparation includes an understanding of radiation safety standards, infection control, emergency care, patient care, computer programs and hardware and other essential skills for working in a medical setting.

English language writing, reading and conversational ability are taught to increase employability.

Human capacity subjects are also covered, highlighting the importance of environmental protection, traffic safety, de-addiction and holistic health in communities.
