Programs

Magnetic Resonance Imaging technologists, also referred to as MRI technologists, utilize magnetic resonance imaging scanners to capture specific images ordered by a physician to aid in patient diagnosis. MRI techs must be able to closely follow a physician’s instructions, prepare/operate MRI equipment, position patients correctly, and effectively record the requested diagnostic images. Medical MRI technologist jobs are most often located in hospitals and diagnostic imaging centers and may require a moderate amount of physical activity working with the equipment and maneuvering patients. Radiologic technologists can specialize in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) as MR technologists. MR, like CT, produces multiple cross-sectional images to create a 3-D image. Unlike CT and x rays, MR uses non-ionizing radio frequency to generate image contrast. This program is only open to current ARRT certified radiographers, nuclear medicine, and radiation therapy technologists in good standing. The mission of the Baker College MRI certificate program is to provide educational opportunities to those registered technologists/technicians who are already in the field of Medical Imaging. This will provide the healthcare community with imaging specialists who are skilled in the field of Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Upon completion of this certificate the students are eligible to sit for the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists certification examination in Magnetic Resonance.
