Program Overview
A diagnostic technique used in medical imaging procedures is known as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). A device known as an MRI machine is used to perform MRIs. The MRI suit is made up of a computer station and a patient table that slides into the MRI machine’s large or spacious cylinder where a strong magnetic field generates images inside of human body parts under observation.
The MRI tech certificate program Indiana provides a comprehensive explanation of how exactly this medical disgnostic technique functions. This course provides students with a basic introduction to MR imaging in addition to a general overview of the didactic and clinical externship requirements for certification. The diploma in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technologist trains students in accordance with the Quality Control (QC) processes, procedures, and techniques as well as legal obligations.
