Programs
Advanced Radiologic Sciences
Advanced Radiologic Sciences offers skills for medical imaging careers, along with technical, management and educational positions.
Emphases include:
- Advanced Radiologic Sciences (may include Mammography)
- Interventional Technology (IT)
- Computed Tomography (CT)
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
- MRI/CT Combined
- Women’s Imaging (Bone Densitometry, Breast Sonography, Mammography)
- Computed Tomography: Fast Track
Diagnostic Medical Sonography
Diagnostic Medical Sonography prepares you for a career as a sonographer, using ultrasound to produce images of organs, tissue and blood flow inside the body. Sonographers help detect heart disease and vascular disease and help perform fine-needle tissue guided biopsy procedures.
Emphases include:
Nuclear Medicine
Our Nuclear Medicine program trains you to become a nuclear medicine technologist, using sophisticated detectors interfaced with computerized imaging systems to create images of the patient’s body.
Radiation Therapy
As a student in Radiation Therapy, you'll learn to administer targeted doses of radiation to a patient’s body to treat cancer or other diseases. As the radiation strikes tissue, it produces highly energized ions that gradually shrink and destroy the nucleus of malignant tumor cells.
Resources
