The Department of Radiation Technology comprises diverse specialties that support medical imaging and therapy professions. Graduates can specialize in radiography, special imaging, cardiac electrophysiology (CEPT), nuclear medicine, sonography, radiologist assistant (RRA), or radiation therapy. Radiographers perform exams for diagnosis using ionizing radiation. While CT and MRI both produce cross-sectional images of the body, MRI utilizes a magnetic field rather than ionizing radiation. CEPT is a subspecialty of cardiology that focuses on diagnosing and treating cardiac arrhythmias. Nuclear medicine employs the nuclear properties of radioactive and stable nuclides to make diagnostic evaluations of the anatomic or physiologic conditions of the body. Sonography uses sound waves to image the human body. RRAs are vital team-members in the medical field, functioning as extensions of radiologists and carrying out procedures under their indirect supervision. Radiation therapy employs medical use of ionizing radiation to treat cancer and control malignant cell growth. Professionals in these areas are able to communicate effectively, think critically, demonstrate professionalism by treating all persons with respect, assume responsibility and accountability for their actions, and adhere to the rules of confidentiality.
