Full Description

The Bachelor of Radiologic and Imaging Sciences Technology degree is designed for students pursuing studies related to medical imaging. Job opportunities for CT and MRI technologists, sonographers and therapists exist in hospitals, surgical centers, clinics, physician offices and other healthcare facilities.

The Radiologic and Imaging Sciences major comprising the following concentrations:

  • The Computed Tomography concentration uses specialized x-ray equipment to create sectional images of the human body. Each cross-sectional image reveals complex information about body structures that are used for a variety of reasons (i.e., diagnostic, treatment planning, interventional or screening).
    • Computed Tomography concentration for students who completed an A.A.S. degree in Radiologic Technology, Nuclear Medicine or Radiation Therapy
    • Computed Tomography concentration for students who completed a hospital-based certificate or A.T.S. degree in Radiologic Technology and American Registry of Radiologic Technologist certification examination
  • The Diagnostic Medical Sonography concentration uses medical ultrasound (high frequency sound waves that produce images of internal structures) to diagnose a variety of conditions and diseases, as well as monitor fetal development.
    • Diagnostic Medical Sonography concentration for new students (freshmen) and students who completed an associate degree
    • Diagnostic Medical Sonography concentration for students who completed an A.A.S. degree in Radiologic Technology

Radiation Therapy Program

Computed Tomography (CT) is an x-ray imaging technique that uses a computer to produce images of the body to show detailed anatomy and pathology.

Applicants for the CT program must be currently certified as an ARRT registered radiologic technologist, an ARRT or NMTCB registered nuclear medicine technologist, or an ARRT registered radiation therapist. 

International students who are interested in the program are advised to apply to Kent State University first: https://www.kent.edu/admissions/apply.

The CT program consists of didactic and clinical components.  The didactic component is 100% online.  The clinical component is completed at a healthcare facility to meet the ARRT clinical requirements required for eligibility to sit for the certification exam in MRI.

The CT program has two pathway options:

1.    The Certificate Program offers CT-specific coursework that fulfills the ARRT structured education requirements and prepares the student for the ARRT national certification exam. Courses are offered in 2 semesters (fall and spring) with an optional review course and clinical experience offered in summer.

Students who pursue the certificate program can use those completed courses to toward the BRIT degree.

2.    The Bachelor Degree Program offers CT-specific coursework that fulfills the ARRT structured education requirements and prepares the student for the ARRT national certification exam. Additional courses as well as the completion of Kent Core courses is required for completion of the degree (120 credit hours total). CT and supporting courses are offered in 3 semesters (fall, spring, and summer).

View the student handbook

Clinical experience has two options:

1.    Those currently working in CT can complete clinical requirements during paid time at their place of employment.

2.    Those who are not currently working in CT will complete clinical requirements at an affiliated healthcare facility during unpaid time (at their place of employment or elsewhere).

Please review the information packet and information video below to learn more about the admission requirements, program coursework, and clinical experience.

Information PackET CT Handbook

The diagnostic medical sonographer (DMS) provides patient services using medical ultrasound (high frequency sound waves that produce images of internal structures).

Working under the supervision of a physician responsible for the use and interpretation of sonographic procedures, the sonographer helps gather sonographic data to diagnose a variety of conditions and diseases, as well as monitor fetal development.

The sonographer obtains, reviews, and integrates pertinent patient history and supporting clinical data to facilitate optimum diagnostic results; performs appropriate procedures and record anatomical, pathological, and/or physiological data for interpretation by a physician; records and processes sonographic data and other pertinent observations made during the procedure; exercises discretion and judgment in the performance of sonographic services; and provides patient education related to medical ultrasound and promotes principles of good health.

The sonographer uses a variety of transducers, either placed on the skin surface or into body cavities (i.e., vagina, rectum) to obtain the required images for an examination. The sonographer provides patient services in a variety of medical settings and encounters various types of patients. Patients will have a variety of physical capabilities including those that can walk and talk, those who need a wheelchair, those that arrive on a stretcher and cannot communicate. The sonographer will be exposed to infectious diseases along with body fluids during the delivery of patient care.

Sonography is a rewarding career for those individuals interesting in using technology, critical thinking and communication skills as a part of the health care team, impacting the health of a diverse patient population.

Applications are now closed for Fall 2024.

Information PackET  MRI Handbook

A Radiation Therapist is a health care professional who administers therapeutic doses of radiation to cancer patients by using specialized high energy treatment units.

These treatments may be given either externally or internally as temporary or permanent radioactive implants.

Additionally, radiation therapists perform simulations where the tumor is mapped out or localized by obtaining specific types of images most commonly utilizing a CT unit. A radiation therapist also performs calculations and fabricates various devices to aid in the delivery of treatment. Radiation Therapists have close patient contact daily so the profession is quite people oriented as well as technically oriented due to the sophistication of the various types of treatment and simulation units. A radiation therapist may further their education and become a dosimetrist that performs computerized treatment planning to maximize the dose to the tumor while minimizing the dose to the normal structures. 

Applications for Fall 2024 are now available.

Application Deadline: May 1
