Program overview
A one year master degree in diagnostic imaging, covering imaging physics, radiographic technique, cross sectional anatomy, image interpretation, quality assurance and a research project.
Master of Science in Medical Imaging Technology lists only two entry windows, the narrowest planning margin in this batch, so a missed deadline costs a full year.
