Master in Radio Imaging Technology

 

Programme Overview

The Aim of M.Sc. in Medical Radiology & Imaging Technology (MMRIT) is to provide specialized training in the scientific principles of modern imaging science and in the application of these principles in the field of Radio Diagnosis. The course is designed for the students who have already gone through the basic and practical aspects of the subject during their bachelor degree course and are interested to enhance their knowledge of the subject academically and clinically.
After successful completion of the master degree the students would have developed a broad knowledge of the principles, technology, instrumentation, recent developments and proper handling of the modern radiological equipment and proper execution of the various radiological procedures.
It shall be a regular course of four semesters where attendance in the theory , practicals and clinical postings is mandatory. The students short of attendance are not allowed to appear in the University examinations. The degree shall be awarded when the students have cleared all the papers of all the four semesters without any back paper.
