Advanced Medical Imaging, Certificate
The Advanced Medical Imaging program delivers online coursework and provides a framework for didactic experience in magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography to prepare students to become certified technologists in these advanced imaging modalities.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technologists operate MRI scanners, which use radio frequencies and strong magnetic fields to create a cross-sectional image of a patient’s body, which are then used by a radiologist to aid in making an accurate diagnosis. Computed tomography (CT) is an advanced form of diagnostic imaging where technologists use x-rays and computers to produce cross-sectional anatomical images of the human body for diagnostic testing, radiation therapy treatment planning, and nuclear medicine PET scanning.
Graduates of the program will be didactically prepared to sit for either the ARRT Advanced Registry in Magnetic Resonance Imaging or the ARRT Advanced Registry in Computed Tomography or both.
Please note: The program is open to ARRT-registered technologists in Radiography, Nuclear Medicine Technology or Radiation Therapy or those who are registry eligible.
