Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Advanced Medical Imaging Technology] From University of Cincinnati

Students entering our professional baccalaureate curriculum are educated in multiple diagnostic medical imaging modalities. Currently, magnetic resonance imaging and nuclear medicine technology are taught in the professional curriculum. It is anticipated that additional imaging modalities will be added to program offerings.
Students who complete the baccalaureate program will meet national board eligibility requirements in two diagnostic medical imaging modalities as well as possess research skills that will distinguish them in their fields. Their bachelor of science in advanced medical imaging technology may be used as a point of entry to graduate or medical school, should students seek to further their education.

Career Possibilities:

Most full-time diagnostic medical imaging technologists work about 40 hours a week. They may, however, have evening, weekend or on-call hours. Opportunities for part-time and shift work also are available.Physical stamina is important, because diagnostic medical imaging technologists are on their feet for long periods and need to assist incapacitated patients. Diagnostic medical imaging technologists work with stationary diagnostic imaging devices, and their duties may include performing some services at the patient's bedside. 
Some technologists travel to patients' locations, using large vans and trucks equipped with sophisticated diagnostic equipment. Although some diagnostic medical imaging professionals use radiation as part of their occupation, radiation hazards are minimized by the use of shielding and the application of radiation safety practices. All individuals working with radiation are monitored continuously for radiation exposure.
