BS in Radiologic Sciences (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
Boston
Magnetic Resonance Imaging, usually referred to as MRI, is a procedure in which radio waves and a powerful magnet linked to a computer are used to create detailed images of body structures for the purpose of diagnosis. MRI technologists use their knowledge of anatomy, physiology, patient care, and the MRI principles to safely operate advanced MRI scanners and assist the radiologist in the diagnosis of disease and injury.
The 36-month BS in Radiologic Sciences with a major in MRI is an accelerated program combining online courses, courses on the Boston campus, and clinical internships throughout Massachusetts.
The typical course of study begins with a year of core curriculum pre-professional courses and general education courses followed by two years of professional courses and clinical internships.
Unlike most MRI programs, this is a primary pathway program which recognizes MRI as a distinct and separate imaging discipline.
Upon graduation from the BS program with a major in MRI, the students are eligible to apply for certification through examination by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.
