You will be an interprofessional team member with patients, imaging professionals, physicians, nurses and other health care professionals. You will utilize medical terminology, adjust exposure controls, practice radiation protection, and work in a fast-paced exciting environment.

You can specialize in computed tomography, mammography, bone densitometry, interventional, and cardiovascular imaging.

The Owens Radiologic Technology Program offers all second-year students the ability to complete a certificate in Computed Tomography and complete clinical experience in CT after program completion.
