Radiology & Medical Imaging Technology

Department of Paramedical

Radio imaging technology studies is the methods and processes used to obtain inside images of the parts and organs of the human body and their different function in clinical procedures or medical science that includes physiology and human anatomy. This is done for therapeutic purposes such as research on the body's normal architecture.

The course is directed to teach students about radio imaging techniques, as well as modern and traditional radiographic equipment, and how to perform an ethical diagnostic procedure. The students can learn advanced and specialized technical terms in medical imaging techniques such as MRI and CT scans, specialized QM and PACS, and other different routine operations.

Radio Imaging Technology students have a bright and successful future because it is one of the fastest-growing fields in medicine.
