Course Objective
The BMIT programme at ISBAT University is carefully designed to provide medical imaging technologists with the necessary theoretical knowledge and clinical skills required to perform procedures such as X-ray, Ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computer Tomography (CT) and Interventional Radiography. This program is aiming at providing the dynamically changing requirements of the health sector, wherein the students are trained in the technical aspects of the procedures, with a special emphasis on the basic anatomy and pathophysiology of the disease process.
The primary objective of BMIT at ISBAT University is to produce professionally competent, adaptable, and academically excellent professionals with sound management qualities. The program offers an intensive training in all fields related to the medical imaging technologies including nuclear medicines. All the core subjects are adequately supported with practical skills and real-life practices. The six months compulsory internship program enables the students to understand the routine working atmosphere of the diagnostic laboratories and provide opportunity for on-the-job training and experiences to work in the industry.
The graduates of BMIT from ISBAT University will be equipped with thorough knowledge, practical skills, values, and attitudes to occupy key positions, and to undertake research activities in key operational areas of the clinical imaging industry.
