Medical imaging technologists are allied health professionals who have expertise in the operation of imaging equipment and the preparation of patients for various diagnostic and treatment procedures. Practice specialties may include competencies in radiography, nuclear medicine, sonography, radiation therapy, cardiovascular intentionality radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, positron emission tomography, and mammography. Additionally, many clinically educated medical imaging technologists pursue careers in management or teaching within their disciplines. To meet the varying needs of these health care professionals, the program offers a range of academic pathways leading to a baccalaureate degree.
The short clinical program involves three years of study at BU and offers emphasis in management, education or science. You'll take the major core courses in biology, anatomy and physiology, chemistry, applied physics for health sciences, general psychology, statistics, public speaking, and introductory computer science. Some clinical sites also may require medical terminology, introductory microbiology, physiological chemistry, college algebra or pre-calculus, and medical ethics.
In the management emphasis, you'll also study introductory business, financial accounting, management, human resource management, and introductory health care.
