Mission
MRI Technology deals with disease detection and forming pictures of anatomy as well as physiology processes within the human body. The purpose of Associate Degree in MRI Technology is to prepare students for securing a career in the medical imaging domain of healthcare. It will further empower you to qualify as a healthcare professional and learn the knowledge, skills, and ethical values required to excel in dynamic MRI technology fields.
Our MRI Technology degree aims to offer hands-on training in operating MRI machines, understanding examination procedures, abiding by Quality Control (QC) standards, ensuring patient care, and documenting results accurately.
Description
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic modality in medical imaging procedures. It uses magnetic fields and radio waves to scan and produce images of human body organs and muscles. The MRI suite consists of a computer station and patient’s table that slides into a large cylinder of the machine. Within the cylinders reside magnets that deploy a powerful field that scans the human body.
Associate Degree in MRI Technology is a 15 – 21 months program that covers 90 quarter credit hours designed for both freshers and working adults. You can also transfer or convert your diploma credit hours, which will lessen the total duration of the associate degree. Furthermore, you can opt for full-time or part-time enrollment. In order to evaluate your eligibility for MRI Technology Programs, you will have to take Stellar Career College’s Placement Test, which is available both online and on-campus.
The Associate Degree in MRI Technology covers an in-depth explanation of how to use MRI machines, frequency adjustments according to diagnoses, patient care, Quality Control (QC) standards, safety protocols, and medical terminologies.
Learning Outcomes
MRI Technology Degree aims to train you with basic and fundamental knowledge of conducting medical imaging modalities. In addition, this program also offers a real-world extensive clinical experience.
