Radiologic Technology is the art and science of using radiation to
provide images of the tissues, organs, bones and vessels that comprise the human body.
These images may be recorded on film or displayed on a video monitor. The Radiologic
Technologist is responsible for the production of these images and is an essential member
of the health care team. The Radiologic Technology Program is designed to provide
students, who will work under the direction of a radiologist, with the essential skills
needed to use ionizing radiation as a means of determining the nature of disease or
injury. Students participate in classroom lectures, in activities in the departments
new energized laboratory, and in clinical experiences at affiliated hospitals. Learning
approaches include the use of audio tapes, radiographic films, slides, computers and
laboratory assignments.
Students will be required to adhere to all regulations and policies as
outlined in the Radiologic Technology Student Handbook. Clinical education commences in
the spring semester of the freshman year and continues throughout the six semester
program.
The Radiologic Technology Program is accredited by The New York State
Department of Health, Bureau of Environmental Radiation Protection and The Joint Review
Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology.
