Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Radiology and Imaging Technology (RIT)

Overview

• B.Sc. Radiology and imaging technology course is designed to enable students to enhance their scientific knowledge and skill to produce clear and accurate images of the body that enable physicians to diagnose and treat medical conditions. Radiology and imaging technologist operate sophisticated equipment including X-Ray, CT scan, MRI scan, Mammography and fluoroscopic C-arms. They play important role in updating patient records and maintaining the imaging equipments.
• B.Sc. Radiology and Imaging technology is 4 years (3 years of academic and clinical practice and 1 year of internship programme in various diagnostic centres) under graduate course which prepares the students to use different types of sophisticated imaging equipment and take the professional certification exam required for most jobs in this field.

CAREER IN RADIOGRAPHY:

• Radiography is one of the most promising career options in the paramedical field. Employment prospects for radiographers are good, both within the country and overseas. With health services increasing leaps and bounds, radiographers are constantly in demand in nursing homes, hospitals, diagnostic centres as well as super-speciality hospitals.
• In India, radiographers can work both in private & government hospitals. Jobs are available on part time and full-time work.
• A career in radiography can be very promising. The demand for radiographers has increased considerably in recent times, with significant technological development in medical sciences creating new job oppurtunities.

RADIATION PROTECTION FOR THE STUDENTS:

• Personal radiation dose monitor called TLD (Thermo Luminescent Dosimeter) is provided to all the students to monitor the radiation dose of each and also the lifetime cumulative dose report is maintained for every individual to protect from hazards of radiation.
