The MRI program consists of three semesters of clinical training to complete the competencies and additional physics/instrumentation coursework. Upon successful completion, students are eligible to sit for the national MRI certification examination administered by the American Registry of Radiologic Technlogists (ARRT).
Students may also choose to pursue the BSRS in Medical imaging in addition to the MRI Certificate.
MRI Technologists use specialized equipment to produce cross sectional images of the human anatomy. MRI produces diagnostic images by placing the body in a strong magnetic field, which shows differences in water content between various body tissues.
