Schools for Medical Imaging Technology

Medical imaging technology is a term encompassing all types of medical imaging, including radiology, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear medicine. While some health professionals choose to specialize in one type of imaging, like ultrasound, there are some broader college programs that cover all the bases of medical imaging technology, giving students more flexibility in choosing a career.
  1. Indiana University

    • Indiana University's School of Medicine offers an associate's degree in radiology (which qualifies students for credentialing as radiologists) and a bachelor's degree in medical imaging technology. Students enrolling in the bachelors program must be credentialed radiologists, either by completing the associate's degree first, or through previous education. Students may choose a clinical track specializing in one type of imaging (e.g., ultrasound) or a non-clinical track introducing them to all types of medical imaging. A related bachelor's degree is offered in nuclear medicine.

    Oregon Institute of Technology (Klamath Falls Campus)

    • As opposed to offering a generalized medical imaging degree, this school offers several specialized bachelor's degrees through its Medical Imaging Department. Students may earn a four-year degree in diagnostic medical sonography, radiologic science, nuclear medicine, echocardiography or vascular technology. For those who qualify with previous credits, bachelor's completion programs are offered for the radiology, vascular and echocardiography tracks. An introductory class is a prerequisite to applying for the program.

    University of Cincinnati

    • This university offers a bachelor's degree in advanced medical imaging technology at its main campus, giving students a comprehensive education in multiple imaging disciplines. Acceptance into the program is competitive and two-tiered, requiring separate qualifications for the academic portion in years one and two and the professional portion in years three and four. Prerequisite courses must be completed before acceptance. There is also an optional pre-advanced associate's degree program offered, which covers these requirements and prepares the student for acceptance into the advanced program.

    ECPI College of Technology (Charlotte Campus)

    • With numerous locations in the Carolinas and Virginia, this accredited career college has a medical imaging technology program at its Charlotte, NC, campus. Students can earn a diploma or a bachelor's degree in electronics engineering technology with an emphasis on medical imaging technology, or an associate's in medical radiography (offered through ECPI's Medical Career Institutes division). The latter focuses on patient diagnostics, while the two former programs focus on the function and maintenance of imaging equipment.
