Department of Radiography and Imaging Sciences

The Medical Imaging Sciences program in the Department of Radiology is designed to introduce students to the spectrum of diagnostic imaging modalities and their role in the clinical management of patients. It provides students with knowledge of essential radiographic anatomy and key imaging features of common diseases. The basic principles of all forms of diagnostic imaging pertaining to Thoracic, Musculoskeletal, Gastrointestinal, Genitourinary, Cardiac, Neuroradiology, Mammography, Pediatrics, Emergency Radiology, Computed Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Ultrasound, and Interventional Radiology are provided. Students acquire interpretative skills by improving instruction and interactive teaching sessions and through the use of Web-based teaching materials. Greater depth of experience is provided by the elective internship offered at the end that emphasizes training in general Diagnostic Radiology, Angiography, Interventional Radiology, Neuroradiology, and Pediatric Radiology. In today's market, practice opportunities for Radiological scientist abound. Radiological scientists may elect to practice individually join group practices, ENGOs, centers, teach, conduct valuable research, and participate in health-care administration and practice in military and public health-care settings.
