Correct diagnosis and treatment of diseases are among the fundamental goals of health sciences. Early diagnosis and treatment of diseases are extremely important for the society to consist of healthy individuals. In this early diagnosis and treatment process, medical imaging methods provide physicians with very valuable data. The discovery of X-rays by the German physicist Röntgen opened the door to medical imaging methods, and new applications have been introduced in the field with the research and development activities carried out in the last thirty years.  

The efficient achievement of medical imaging methods is possible with the presence of a well-trained team in the field. This team consists of radiology, nuclear medicine or radiotherapy specialist physicians and medical imaging technicians.  

With the opening of the program; Qualified technical staff will be trained who can use their knowledge and communication skills in line with the education and training they receive in all radiodiagnostic modalities used by physicians in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases (conventional and digital radiology, fluoroscopy, digital subtraction angiography, computerized tomography, magnetic resonance imaging), as well as nuclear medicine (Spec, PET, PETCT) and radiotherapy (simulator, linear accelerator, etc.), who have the technical equipment to apply developing technology in the field, who have the ability to synthesize information, who can easily use eye and hand coordination and who can coordinate with radiology specialists and other healthcare personnel.  

Working Areas: Graduates of the Department of Medical Imaging Techniques can work as technicians in the Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Radiotherapy departments of public, university, private hospitals and private medical centers and private imaging centers. 

A medical imaging technician: 

• Medical imaging devices 
• Magnetic Resonance,  
• Computed Tomography,  
• X-ray,  
• Angiography, 
• Scintigraphy, 
• Positron Emission Tomography  

Bone Densitometry obtains two or three-dimensional images of the areas of the human body deemed necessary by physicians.

History: The Medical Imaging Techniques Program, affiliated with the Department of Medical Services and Techniques, was opened in 2018 by the Council of Higher Education and started accepting students in 2019.    ​
