The Radiologic Technologist program provides training in radiation physics, anatomy and physiology, theory and practice of fixed and mobile radiologic equipment, chemical and digital processing, and routine and special radiographic positioning. Simulated and/or live practice is provided for all routine procedures. Concepts and principles of computed tomography, mammography, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy, magnetic resonance imaging, and sonography are introduced. Quality control and safety techniques are emphasized throughout the program. Instruction and practice in medical ethics, patient care, and a comprehensive pre-clinical review prepares students to transition to a clinical setting. Clinical training may occur at military or civilian treatment facilities which includes instruction in patient reception, quality control, and self-paced study for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) exam. Clinical rotations include operating room, routine and special radiographic procedures, mobile equipment exams, fluoroscopy, and other modalities (computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, mammography, and angiography) as available.
Credentialing Information: Graduates are eligible to take national credentialing examinations through the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists* (WWW.ARRT.ORG) upon meeting degree requirements.
