BS Radiologic Technology
The Medical Imaging Program at LIU Post has been a provider of education in diagnostic imaging since 1973 and is one of only a few programs in New York State to offer the entry-level baccalaureate degree in Radiologic Technology. Radiologic technologists operate x-ray and digital imaging machines, digital mammography equipment, computed tomography (CT scan) machines and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to provide physicians with images of the skeletal system, organs, tissues and other vessels of the body—important diagnostic tests that help doctors detect and treat illness and injury.
Radiographers utilize ionizing radiation to provide physicians images of the skeletal system, organs, tissues and other vessels of the body; important diagnostic tests that help physicians detect and treat illness and injury. Radiographers are professionals skilled in the use digital x-ray and mammography equipment, computed tomography (CT scan), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Students in the Medical Imaging program benefit from being part of a small cohort, progressing through their courses as a group, receiving individualized attention from faculty. The B.S. in Radiologic Technology Medical Imaging program provides a strong educational foundation in science and the liberal arts and comprehensive coursework in radiologic technology. Students receive the core knowledge for entry into professional practice as well as tools for lifelong learning. Through the synthesis of clinical and didactic experiences, students develop clinical competence, conceptual understanding and critical thinking skills for effective problem-solving. We seek to prepare graduates who will have essential literacies including written and oral communication skills and be clinically competent professionals able to provide quality care to the community and other groups of interest.
Accreditation Information: The B.S. in Radiologic Technology is professionally accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT) and was awarded the maximum length of accreditation of 8 years in 2015 and licensed by the New York State Department of Health, Bureau of Radiologic Technology.
