Radiology students can learn to perform vital diagnostic tests such as MRIs.
Radiologic technologists and technicians are trained to perform medical imaging examinations so that physicians can diagnose a condition or illness. Some radiologic technicians and technologists specialize in areas such as mammography, computed tomography (CT) or magnetic imaging resonance (MRI). Radiology professionals must be well-trained to perform in this challenging and vital field.
Galveston College
Galveston College’s radiologic health sciences department has four certificate options; these options include breast imaging/mammography, MRI technology, CT technology and radiation therapy technology. All certificate options are post-associate’s degree and the mammography option takes between 11 and 13 weeks to complete on a full-time schedule and includes courses such as anatomy/positioning and patient assessment. The CT options can be completed in one semester on a full-time schedule with classes such as sectional anatomy; if taken in the summer or fall semesters, students can complete this program online. The MRI option takes two semesters to complete and can be completed online or on-campus. The radiation therapy option takes one year to complete with courses that include dosimetry, oncology and special topics and trends.
