An overview of the programme:
Bachelor in Medical Radiologic & Imaging Technology is the health profession concerned with the direct administration of radiation, primarily x-rays, in disease diagnosis and injury assessment and treatment. From the humble beginnings of plain film techniques, we are now with a wide array of imaging methods using Conventional and Digital X-rays, ultrasound, magnetic resonance and Radionuclide. Modern diagnostic radiography and Medical Imaging forms an integral part of medical practice, both in making diagnosis and also in treatment. The term “diagnostic radiography” is used to describe a variety of radiographic or x-ray examinations. These simple procedures as well as those which require the use of contrast agents, make it possible to study organs that otherwise cannot be seen. These professionals are at the heart of modern medicine
Future prospects/ Job availability/ Scope:
Diagnostic radiographers employ a range of different imaging techniques and sophisticatedequipment to produce high quality images of an injury or disease. They take the images usingrangeoftechniquesincluding:X-rays,Mammography, Fluoroscopy, CT(computedtomography), MRI(MagneticResonanceImaging), Nuclearmedicine, Angiographyetc. Medical imaging studies have been a cornerstone in medical diagnosis for decades; however, technological advancesand the additionofnewimagingmodalitiesnow placemedicalimagingamongthe most dynamic,expandingand highdemand fields inclinical medicine.
Completing a BMRIT course opens up a wide range of career prospects in various healthcare settings, including:
Hospitals and Diagnostic Centers: BMRIT professionals are in high demand in hospitals and diagnostic centres, where they work close association with radiologists to conduct imaging tests and interpret results.
Research Institutions: BMRIT graduates can contribute to research projects after completing M.Sc. Medical Imaging Technology focused on developing new imaging techniques, advancing medical imaging technology, and improving patient care.
Medical Equipment Companies: BMRIT professionals can work for medical equipment manufacturers, providing technical support, training, and ensuring the optimal performance of radiological equipment.
Teaching and Academia: BMRIT graduates can pursue teaching positions in educational institutions as a tutor or in private institutions sharing their knowledge and expertise with the next generation of healthcare professionals.
