Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Certificate)
Program Overview
This 16 credit-hour, year-long certificate program prepares ARRT registered radiologic technologists to produce cross-sectional images of the body, utilizing magnetic resonance equipment, in order to diagnose abnormalities that are difficult to evaluate with conventional radiography. The program offers a combination of clinical and didactic educational experiences that will provide the student with the necessary knowledge and skills to become an entry-level MRI technologist. Students will learn the physics and instrumentation of magnetic imaging, clinical procedures and protocols, patient care and MRI safety screening. Upon completion of the MRI program, the radiologic technologist will be eligible to sit for the registry examination given by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) in MRI.
Because of the nature of clinical experiences and individualized instruction in this program, and specialized technology, and the equipment necessary to offer this program, a higher tuition rate is assessed for career specific courses. These include courses with the RAD prefix. Students pay 1.5 the regular rate of tuition.
