Description
Medical Radiography is a two-year or three-year program that integrates scientific concepts into working skills though classroom study and intensive clinical experience. The program concentrates on diagnostic radiology, including angiography and computerized tomography. Other imaging modalities such as nuclear medicine, radiation therapy, sonography, and magnetic resonance imaging is briefly discussed.
Medical radiographers are health professionals who combine technical skill with radiographic and anatomical expertise to obtain diagnostic images of all parts of the human body. Successful radiographers must have a good working knowledge of human anatomy, radiographic positioning, radiologic physics, equipment operation, and quality assurance. As members of a health care team, radiographers must also understand and apply principles of good patient care and conduct themselves in accordance with medical ethical standards.
Graduates are eligible to sit for the National certification examination administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT), and to apply for Maine licensure in radiography.
The Medical Radiography program is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT), 20 N. Wacker Drive, Suite 2850, Chicago, IL 60606-3182
