Bachelor of Science in Medical Imaging Technology (B.Sc. MIT) Program is another specialty which plays crucial role in the diagnosis of many diseases by using radiological techniques such as CT scan, MRI, USG, X-ray PET CT etc. The program is specifically designed to prepare the graduates to pursue their career in nationally and internationally rapidly growing healthcare industries. B.Sc. MIT graduates can work as Imaging Technologists in hospitals with radio diagnostic facilities both in public and private sectors. They also have an opportunity to pursue master’s and can specialize in any of the Imaging modalities in abroad.
Medical Imaging Technology is a dynamic health care profession and an integral part of modern health care system. Thus, B.Sc. MIT Course aims to produce graduates in Medical Imaging technology who are skilled, creative and self-reliant in performing all types of general radiography as well as Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and other Radiological imaging. Medical Imaging Technologists come into contact with patient of any age groups and with differing degrees of illness and functional disabilities, from acute or critically ill to chronically ill or nearing the end of their lives. So, they should be able to build their professional practice accordingly. The study program must give students the necessary skills to cope with situations as they arise.
They should have sound knowledge of patient care and radiation protection in the department of radiology and Imaging. They should also have sound theoretical and practical knowledge of the newer imaging modalities such as Computed tomography, Magnetic resonance imaging, digital radiography, Ultrasound, SPECT, PET and PET-CT. At the same time, should be able to cope with the future developments in the field of clinical imaging technology. Besides this B.Sc.MIT graduates will also have good knowledge of Research methodology and Bio-statistics.
