DEPT. OF RADIO MEDICAL IMAGING TECHNOLOGY
Radiology uses technically sophisticated equipment that produces X-radiation used to create
images of the human body. If you have a strong background in math and science, this program
will prepare you for a career as a radiographer.
B.Sc. Radio Medical Imaging Technology
B.Sc. in Radio Imaging Technology is a 3-4 year undergraduate course in Medical Lab Technology. Medical Radiography Imaging Technology involves the methods and processes used to take internal pictures of the human body parts/organs and capacities thereof, for clinical purposes, such as investigation of the body’s normal anatomy and physiology.

FAQs
Is NEET required for admission into BSc Radio Medical Imaging Technology?
No, Neet is not required; admission is decided on the basis of merit, depending on the 10+2 marks.
Is B.Sc. Radio Medical Imaging Technology a safe career, considering radiation exposure?
Completely Yes! The modern diagnostic centres follow stringent safety and health regulatory guidelines.
Is there an opportunity for me to pursue a master’s or other specialist degree after this course?
Yes you can always opt for M.Sc. Medical Imaging Technology or Radio-diagnosis or Physics.
What is the responsibility of the Radio Medical Imaging Technologists when working in the ICU and ER departments?
They might operate mobile X-ray machines and also handheld ultrasounds/CT scanning machines in emergency and intensive care settings.
Does this degree help me get jobs overseas?
The degree is recognised, but generally requires you to take the certification exam of that country for the same job. For Example, For USA, you can look up the professional registration through ARRT for US states, and so on.
