About The Program

Medical Imaging Techniques perform radiological examinations requested by physicians using appropriate imaging protocols. They prioritize patients and ensure that the examinations are referred to the relevant departments. The Medical Imaging Techniques Program, which provides education as formal and evening classes, plays a key role in early diagnosis and treatment, aiming to facilitate accurate diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Early diagnosis and treatment are of utmost importance for the community to consist of healthy individuals. During the early diagnosis and treatment process, medical imaging methods provide valuable data. The efficient implementation of medical imaging techniques is possible with a well-trained team in the field.
