Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Technology

The Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Technology curriculum,
a specialty for radiographers, prepares the individual to use specialized equipment to
visualize cross-sectional anatomical structures and aid physicians in the demonstration
of pathologies and disease processes. Individuals entering this curriculum must be
registered or registry eligible radiologic technologists by the ARRT.

Graduates may be eligible to sit for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologist Advanced-Level testing in Computed Tomography and/or Magnetic Resonance Imaging examinations. They may find employment in facilities which perform these imaging procedures.

CCC&TI offers several different educational programs in this area:

Employment Outlook

According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook, "Job opportunities are expected to be favorable. Some employers report difficulty hiring sufficient numbers of radiologic technologists and technicians. Imbalances between the demand for, and supply of, radiologic technologists and technicians should spur efforts to attract and retain qualified workers, such as improved compensation and working conditions. Radiologic technologists who also are experienced in more complex diagnostic imaging procedures, such as CT and MRI, will have better employment opportunities, brought about as employers seek to control costs by using multiskilled employees."
