4 years Bachelor program
The Bachelor of Science in Medical Imaging Technology program is an undergraduate radiology program. The purpose of this program is to equip the students with relevant professional knowledge, skills, techniques and ethical values to enable them to apply their acquired expertise at a level between the doctors and the patient for efferent health service delivery. It is based on the techniques and processes used to create images of the human body or parts and function thereof of clinical purposes (medical procedure seeking to reveal/ diagnose or examine disease) or medical science including the study of anatomy and physiology. This program combines the clinical applications with training in the underlying science and technology of image formation in several diagnostic techniques; it also combines the key themes of, understanding how medical images are formed and appreciating what images reveal in the clinical context.
Program Goals:
The BS MIT program aims to:
1. Prepare graduates for competent professional practice by developing both core and advanced imaging skills
2. Prepare graduates who can ensure patient safety and comfort
3. Develop a professional identity and leadership skills
4. Develop accuracy and meticulousness to attain high levels of ethics and technical proficiency
5. Access the technical and non-technical skills in a standardized and reproducible environment
6. Strengthen the decision power and exercise appropriate judgment skills, to be applied especially and during crisis
7. Develop and analyze innovative strategies for effective communication with the patient and the health care personnel
8. Demonstrate inter disciplinary team building strategies or effective co-ordination between various allied health disciplines
9. Demonstrate understanding of the basic concepts of professional behaviors and legal implementations of work environment
Program Objectives
The graduates will:
1. Provide quality images using routine as well as advanced imaging procedures in order to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient care
2. Use digital imaging and information technology equipment competently, through application of the principal and theories of its operation in order to Identify diseases (infections, cancer), injuries (fractures, internal damage), and abnormalities (tumors, blockages) early and accurately.
3. Evaluate performance characteristics of equipment
4. Implement an effective radiation protection program
5. Apply the knowledge of sectional anatomy to relate clinical procedures, facilitating timely interventions and improving patient outcomes
6. Demonstrate an understanding of the principles of exposure selection and image processing, and an ability to apply this knowledge
