Bachelor of Radiologic and Imaging Sciences Technology

The Salem Campus provides a Bachelor of Radiologic and Imaging Sciences Technology, designed for students pursuing studies related to medical imaging. Five concentrations are offered: computed tomography (CT), diagnostic medical sonography (DMS), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear medicine technology (NMT) and radiation therapy (RTH). The options to pursue this major are the following:

Graduation Requirements
To receive a Bachelor of Radiologic and Imaging Sciences Technology, students must satisfy the 37-hour minimum requirements stipulated in the Liberal Education Requirements (LER) and diversity requirement as indicated in this Catalog. Students must complete a minimum 39 upper-division (junior- and senior-level) courses. The cumulative grade point average must be minimum 2.00 for all coursework taken at Kent State University. Students must have minimum 2.75 GPA in the radiologic and imaging sciences technology core courses. Only general elective courses may be taken pass/fail. Students must complete all academic and clinical competencies in their core concentration.

Computed Tomography Concentration
Computed Tomography, within the Bachelor of Radiologic and Imaging Sciences Technology, prepares students for taking detailed cross-sectional radiographs of the internal structures of the human body using advanced x-ray equipment. As a computed tomography technologist you work closely with physicians to provide radiographic studies that assist with patient diagnosis and treatment. Admission into the program is selective.

This concentration fully articulates with the computed tomography certificate.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Concentration
Magnetic Resonance Imaging, within the Bachelor of Radiologic and Imaging Sciences Technology, prepares students to become technologists responsible for using powerful magnets, radio waves and computers to create cross-sectional images of body parts. The technologist must have good computer skills and a sound knowledge of human anatomy. Admission into the program is selective.

This concentration fully articulates with the magnetic resonance imaging certificate.

Radiation Therapy Concentration
Radiation Therapy, within the Bachelor of Radiologic and Imaging Sciences Technology, prepares students to become a professional member of the health care team who administers radiation to treat cancer and other diseases. Radiation therapists use their knowledge of medical radiography, radiation physics, human anatomy and physiology, radiation protection, radiation biology and clinical radiation oncology to deliver radiation as prescribed by the radiation oncologist. Admission into the program is selective.
