MEDICAL IMAGING TECHNOLOGY (MIT)
(04-Year Degree Program)
Medical imaging is the technique and process of creating visual representations of the interior of a body for clinical analysis and medical intervention and visual representation of the function of some organs or tissues.
Medical imaging encompasses different imaging modalities and processes to image the human body for diagnostic and treatment purposes like radiology which uses the imaging technologies of X-ray Radiography, Fluoroscopy, Computed Tomography(CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Medical Ultrasonography or Ultrasound, Endoscopy and Nuclear Medicine Functional Imaging techniques as Positron Emission Tomography (PET)and Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT).
The use of diagnostic imaging services is paramount in confirming, correctly assessing, and documenting courses of many diseases and assessing responses to treatment.
Aims and Objectives of the Course
- To produce a fully trained imaging technologist who is an essential member of the diagnostic healthcare team.
- Medical imaging technologists are responsible for producing high-quality images from highly advanced technology equipment that assist doctors in accurate diagnosis
