51 Clinic Modality Observations

During a student’s first two semesters in the program, they will rotate through seven or eight special modalities to observe for a half day.  These areas are Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Vascular Interventional (VI), Cardiac Interventional/Cardiac Vascular (CI/CV), Ultrasound (US), Mammography (females), Nuclear Medicine (NM), and Radiation Therapy (RTh). There is a short assignment to do for each modality, which is located in the student’s R151 and R171 Canvas Clinical Course.

Completing these modality observations will help the student when they enter their 2nd year in the program because they must select two modalities where they will do a one week rotation in the selected modalities. In addition, all students will do a two week rotation in CT.  These observations will give the student a better appreciation of medical imaging as a whole.  It will also help guide future careers as students may choose to continue on to the B.S. Medical Imaging Technology (MIT) Program.
