Associate in Medical Imaging Techniques
Tests and workups are indispensable in the correct diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Various imaging techniques using ionising and non-ionising radiation such as magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, X-ray, angiography, scintigraphy, positron emission tomography, and bone densitometry provide internal images of the body.
The Programme of Medical Imaging Techniques aims to educate prospective qualified technologists who can perform the radiological imaging procedures under the supervision of a radiology specialist for both diagnosis and treatment of diseases, follow and adapt to technical and technological developments, and work with a high level of eye-hand coordination supported by their knowledge in the field they have acquired through their education.
Program Specific Requirements
- None.
Learning Outcomes
- This Programme aims to educate prospective radiologic technologists who use the radiological imaging properly which play a significant role in the diagnosis of diseases, comprehend the fundamentals and how to use radiological equipment, have the knowledge and skills to operate all kinds of radiological equipment, and aim for continuous professional development.
Career Opportunities
- With the title “Medical Imaging Technologist” they are awarded when they complete their studies and internships, our graduates work in hospitals, dispensaries, or other institutions in their field, and they have the responsibility and authority to use the technical equipment in these institutions, such as X-ray machines, computed tomography scanners, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines. Due to some risks the work spaces with these advanced medical equipment entail, individuals working in these places have the right to additional leaves and early retirement. Medical Imaging Technologists can also be employed in public bodies as “Health Technologists” according to their Public Personnel Selection Examination (KPSS) scores.
- Provided they pass the Vertical Transfer Examination (DGS) administered by the Centre for Assessment, Selection and Placement (ÖSYM), graduates of the Medical Imaging Techniques Programme can transfer to the undergraduate degrees “Nursing” and “Nursing and Health Services” depending on the quotas at these departments.
