B.Sc Medical Radiology and Imaging Technology

The Medical Radiology and Imaging Technologists are certified technologists who capture images of organs, bone, and tissue for patient diagnosis. Technologist is equipped with technological Skills to handle imaging equipment and interpersonal skills necessary for patient care.
A technologist produces radiography of patients with the help of X-ray to find the exact medical condition of the patient. In addition to X-ray, a radiographer also considers CT scans & MRI for producing radiography. Radiology field is broadly divided into two areas namely diagnostic radiology and interventional radiology.
