Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Biomedical Engineering - Medical Imaging] From Illinois Institute of Technology

Often, these images can be obtained with minimal or completely noninvasive procedures, making them less painful and more readily repeatable than invasive techniques. Moreover, many of the devices require no ionizing radiation doses thereby lessening the danger of secondarly radiation effects on the patient. The students in the Biomedical Engineering (Medical Imaging) programme at the Illinois Institute of Technology learn the theoretical bases underlying the common forms of medical imaging, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computerized axial tomography scanning (CAT-scan), positron emission tomography (PET), and the limitations and the applicability of such techniques.
