Course Description The role of Medical Imaging in medicine is continually growing.New applications and imaging equipments are in a constant state of development.Imaging is in continual growth and development and is dependent on highly qualified and well-trained radiologists,radiological technologists and workers with the knowledge and skills to perform diagnostic imaging procedures are in high demand. School of Radiology began to offerthree years certificate program in Radiology in 1985.The school started a five-year full-time undergraduate program in Radiology in 1994.The five years of systemiceducation will provide the students with the knowledge,skill and attitudes necessary for the medical imaging.We emphasize on theoretical training and practical hands-on clinical experience to prepare the students to become certified personnel in their selected field. Our Medicallmaging Programfocuses on the performance of imaging equipments including X-ray,CT,MRI,digital subtract angiography(DSA) ultrasound(US),mammography,nuclear medicine.Medical Imaging Program also offers the diagnostic imaging technologies.such as X- ray,CT,MRI,diagnosticmedical ultrasound,mammography,nuclear medicine and interventional radiology. After the five years'training,the majority of our graduates in Radiology Program would become radiology technicians at some of the most prestigious hospitals,universities,and institutions in the nation, performing CT scanning,MRI,ultrasound nuclear medicine,radiation therapeutics and angiography;others would take up jobs such as radiology sales representatives or employees with equipment manufacturers and more.after graduation
