About Program
The Medical Imaging Techniques Program is a two-year-associated degree program. And during this period, the medical imaging technician is provided with the necessary knowledge and skills to be able to work independently.
Medical imaging technicians learn to use all radiology devices that produce the images necessary to provide medical diagnosis. Operating these high-tech devices requires theoretical knowledge and experience.
In the first two semesters, emphasis is placed on the fundamental sciences in health and the foundations of medical imaging, while in the 3rd and 4th semesters, emphasis is placed on advanced medical imaging techniques and practical training in these areas.
In order to support students in their lifelong learning, courses such as English, Information and Communication Technologies, Public Health, Environmental Health Communication Skills, etc. are given. In addition, a course called "INTELLIGENCE AND APPLICATIONS IN HEALTH SCIENCES" is also included in our curriculum in order to prepare our students for the "Digital Transformation in Health" thanks to developing technology.
Students who graduate from this program serve as "Medical Imaging Technicians" in public and private institutions and organizations.
Goals
The aim of the program is to train qualified technicians who have the knowledge and skills to obtain the Radiological image necessary to ensure medical diagnosis and to communicate with the patient correctly. In addition, it is aimed to train medical imaging technicians who adopt the principle of lifelong learning within the rapidly developing technology, adapt to radiological developments, have problem-solving skills, are compatible with teamwork, and act within the framework of professional ethical rules and fulfill and apply the requirements of radiological imaging procedures.
Summary of Program Outcomes
