Radiology and Imaging Technology
Radiology & Medical Imaging Technology is the study of the technique and process of imaging the interior of a body for clinical analysis and medical intervention, as well as visual representation of the function of some organs or tissues (physiology). It seeks to reveal internal structures hidden by the skin and bones, as well as to diagnose and treat disease. Medical imaging also establishes a database of normal Anatomy and Physiology to make it possible to identify abnormalities.
Radiologic technologists are responsible for accurately positioning patients and ensuring that a quality diagnostic image is produced. They work closely with radiologists, the physicians who interpret medical images to either diagnose or rule out disease or injury. For the images to be interpreted correctly by the radiologist, the imaging examination must be performed properly by a radiologic technologist.

Career & Job Opportunities
The scope has expanded with a number of opportunities have been on the rise. New Hospitals and Diagnostics Centers are coming up rapidly in Metro as well Tier 2 Cities. The field of radiology is expanding vastly in medicine. As it is closely related to modern imaging hence it gets the advantage of advances in computer technology. With extensive job and career opportunities in this field, in recent times the need for educated and professional radiology technologists in hospitals, clinics, and physicians’ offices are increasing rapidly.
