BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN RADIOLOGICAL TECHNOLOGY

Bachelor of Science in Radiological technology is a 3 academic years combined course of Radiodiagnostic imaging technology, including nuclear medicine, and radiationtherapy, technology. The development of Medicalnces in the last few decades has to a great extent been the development of newer imaging technologies. It is a branch of modern medical sciences without which medical science remains incomplete. In this regard institute of Medicine started PCL radiography in 1972. Due to the need of more qualified health professional the IOM started to train Bachelor Level students in Radiological Technology since December 2000.
