Producing high quality diagnostic images with contrast and clarity.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard for non-invasive, non-radiative imaging focused on the abdomen/ pelvis, breast, cardiac, musculoskeletal and neurological systems. MRI uses a powerful magnetic field and radio wave pulses to create high-resolution cross sectional images of the human anatomy. As a student you will learn to work on state-of-the-art scanners to generate extraordinary three-dimensional detailed anatomical images necessary in the diagnosis and monitoring of pathology. Additionally, you will consult with radiologists to examine the images and answer questions as a vital member of the patient care team.
Your knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and MRI principles will allow you to safely operate MRI scanners and equipment. Advanced applications in MRI continue to be developed to meet the needs of emerging clinical indications in neurology, oncology and cardiology. Your education will prepare you for this exciting growing indispensable state of the art career in diagnostic imaging
