Program:  Bachelor of Science in Radiological Imaging Techniques (BRIT)

Program Code: BRIT

Level: Graduation

Duration: 3.5 Years

Overview

This course provides knowledge of diagnosing & treating various diseases and clinical disorders with the help of image techniques such as X-rays, ultrasounds, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography etc. Diagnostic radiography is the specialization of medicine that uses the images of X-ray & other imaging techniques to diagnose the disease & injury of patients.

Programme Educational Objectives:

• After completion of this course, BRIT graduates would be able to work as trained Medical Imaging Technologists.                                               
• A BRIT degree holder can work as a radiologic technologist in diagnostic imaging centers, super specialty hospitals, government and private hospitals.                                                       
• Self-employment opportunities are also available as graduates in this field are aware and conversant with the latest sophisticated modern imaging modalities such as CT scan, MRI and PET scan.
• Would be able to undertake mammography, CT scan and MRI procedures independently.                        
• Can assist in specialized radiological procedures.                                          
• Ability to handle all radiological and imaging equipment independently and do the image processing.            
• Would comply with radiation protection and safety measures and participate in quality assurance procedures.                                                                   
• Would be able to integrate knowledge of clinical care, communication and ethics in a hands-on manner in a professional healthcare setting.         
• Have basic knowledge of all pre and para clinical subjects of medical sciences.                                                                                        
• Have advanced knowledge of all radio imaging techniques.                                                                   
• Distinctiveness of research and audit processes and their function.                                                            
• Can work as a diagnostic radiographer, radiation therapy educator and radiology instructor.
