Radiological Technology
This course's goal is to train radiological technologists with a high level of expertise who will support proper diagnosis and effective therapy through imaging with X-ray CT, MRI, ultrasound, and radioactive medical supplies, and in cancer radiation
therapy.
What is Radiological Technology (RT) ?
The science of radiation has made many contributions to modem society through its applications in medicine, industry and power plants. The Radiological Technology Course teaches how to use radiation in effective and safe ways though a correct understanding
of the scientific principles of radiation. Graduates from this course work actively as advanced radiation technologists, industry engineers and researchers. Five research laboratories support the development of new medical technologies for the next generation.
Education
Our education places emphasis on fundamental knowledge of technology as a firm base, as well as application ability, clinical training in collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine and the University hospital, and nurturing English communication ability.
The education program consists of five areas: 1. Fundamental physics including atomic structure and radiation interaction with matter, radiation measurements and radiation protection for safe and effective use, 2. Biology, medicine and health sciences as part of a team approach to medicine, 3. Fundamental knowledge and techniques to cope with various medical equipment for diagnosis and radiation therapy, 4. Medical imaging technologies including imaging informatics, and 5. Clinical training and practice.
The curriculum was revised in accordance with new government regulations that mandate course information covering patient care, advanced anatomy and imaging informatics. We plan to realize the faculty concept of cultivating members of medical teams by designing appropriate and ongoing revisions of the education system to reach our long-term goal of medicine for Patients.
A new graduate course started in 2007 for education of advanced radiological technologists to be professionals concerning radiation therapy for cancer in addition to the existing graduate courses.
