Medical Diagnostic Imaging

Increased technology has prompted many hospitals to seek to employ technologists who have been trained in two or more skilled areas. This program provides an opportunity for radiologic technology students to pursue cross-training in various areas of advanced imaging. During different times of the year students may be able to attend course sequences in modalities such as computed tomography (CT), ultrasonography, cardiovascular-interventional technology, mammography (M), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or bone densitometry (BD).

Students are required to complete the core requirements with a minimum grade point average of 2.75, and have either completed or been accepted into a radiologic technology program before they will be eligible for the major elective courses.

Determination of admission is based on: (1) completion of department application form: (2) two references concerning professional characteristics of applicant; (3) cumulative grade point average of at least 2.75 on a 4.0 scale; (4) a grade of "C" or above in all cognate courses; and (5) demonstration of attitude and aptitude to perform as a professional radiologic technologist which may include enrollment in or completion of a radiologic technology education program.
