Educational Qualification: 10th passed from any recognized board with a minimum of 50% marks.Age Limit: Candidate's age should be between 16 to 28 years on the date of admission.This 3-year diploma program consists of six semesters. Students are equipped with the necessary theoretical knowledge and clinical practice to become qualified Diagnostic Radiographers.
The curriculum covered subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Electronics, Engineering Science, Anatomy, Communication Skills, Computer Applications, Diagnostics, Digital Electronics, Basic Imaging, X-Ray, CT Scan, Ultrasound, MRI, Image Processing, Advanced Imaging, and Electronic Equipment and Tools.
At the end of the course, graduates can continue their careers into any of the medical imaging modalities such as Diagnostic Radiology, Genitourinary Radiology, Emergency Radiology, Radiation Oncology, Neuro-Radiology, and many others.They also have the opportunity to work in private and government hospitals, diagnostic labs, and nursing homes.
Eligibility criteria usually state that one has to be Class 12 passed in science, with core subjects like physics, chemistry, and biology, in most medical imaging technology D.Voc programs. Some even admit students if they have some other equivalent qualification or a diploma from a known college in this regard. At times, they will ask for aggregate percentage- that is generally somewhere between 50-60 percent.
Medical imaging technology is applied in the examination of various aspects of the medical condition using any of the applicable imaging techniques. Students seeking enrollment in this program should have knowledge in science subjects and an overview of human body biology. From this course, students will attain practical skills on the subject combined with theoretical background in radiology, medical image devices, as well as treatment of patients. To add to the curriculum, the students may also undergo practical training in hospitals and diagnostic centers where they can develop expertise in the use of imaging technology for medical purposes.
