The Advanced Medical Imaging Technology program curriculum ensures you are educated in multiple diagnostic medical imaging modalities giving you credentials in both magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear medicine technology. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to generate detailed images of the body.
