Department of Radiological Sciences

• Procedural Skill: Demonstrate proficiency in patient positioning for routine and non-routine radiographic examinations.
• Technical Accuracy: Correctly select exposure factors (kVp, mAs) to produce high-quality diagnostic images while minimizing radiation dose.

• Modality Application: Apply specialized knowledge to operate advanced imaging equipment, such as CT, MRI, or Ultrasound, depending on the chosen track.
• Anatomy & Pathology: Identify normal anatomical structures and common pathological conditions on various medical images.
  

• Safety Standards: Strictly adhere to the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) to ensure the safety of patients, staff, and self.
• Patient Management: Provide high-quality care, including assessing patient needs, offering emotional support, and recognizing emergency conditions requiring first aid.
• Data Accuracy: Properly document and record patient data in accordance with hospital policies and legal/ethical standards.
  

• Image Evaluation: Critically analyze radiographs for diagnostic quality and implement corrective actions for suboptimal images.
• Clinical Adaptation: Modify standard imaging procedures based on a patient’s condition, such as in trauma or mobile radiography situations.

• Interpersonal Skills: Communicate effectively with patients of diverse backgrounds, their families, and multidisciplinary healthcare teams.
• Ethics & Leadership: Exhibit a professional work ethic, uphold the professional Code of Ethics, and demonstrate leadership potential in clinical settings.
• Lifelong Learning: Recognize the importance of continued professional development and be prepared for ARRT national certification.

• High School Completion: A diploma or GED is required, often with a minimum average of 60% or higher depending on the region.
• GPA Standards: Programs typically require a cumulative GPA of 2.5 to 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
• Standardized Tests: Scores from the SAT or ACT are frequently required for traditional entry.
• Clinical Observation: Many top-tier programs require 4 to 8 hours of documented observation in a busy radiology department to ensure applicants understand the profession.
• Interviews: Qualified candidates often undergo oral and written interviews to assess communication skills and professional goals.
