This program is jointly offered by Ramapo College of New Jersey and Rutgers Biomedical and Health Science–School of Health Related Programs (Rutgers-SHRP).\u00a0 Our Medical Imaging Science major is designed for students who would like to train in the fields of cardiac sonography, diagnostic medical sonograhy, nuclear medicine technology, or vascular sonography.\u00a0 These health care professionals will be trained to work alongside physicians and other professionals in the diagnosis and care of patients.<\/p>\n
Students must complete 96 credits, including General Education requirements, School of Theoretical and Applied Science requirements, and a preprofessional core.\u00a0 They then can be admitted to a professional program at Rutgers-SHRP.\u00a0 The Medical Imaging Science professional program consists of 4 academic semesters (up to 18 months) or full time study in one of four areas of specialization.\u00a0 Upon completion, students receive a joint B.S. Degree from Rutgers-SHRP and Ramapo College, and qualify to declare a minor in Biology.<\/p>\n

\nCardiac Sonographers use ultrasound technology to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease. \u00a0Working under the direction of a physician, cardiac sonographers are trained in diagnostic procedures, data analysis and documentation and operation of state of the art equipment..<\/p>\n
\nSonographers are highly skilled professionals qualified by education to provide patient services using diagnostic techniques under the supervision of a licensed Doctor of Medicine or Osteopathy. \u00a0Sonographers are trained in abdominal, obstetrical, gynecological and neonatal neurosonography ultrasound. using the most advanced ultrasound equipment..<\/p>\n
\nNuclear Medicine is a medical specialty that uses radioactive materials for the diagnosis and treatment of disease.\u00a0 They are specifically trained in radiation safety, laboratory techniques, imaging procedures, and the use of highly specialized equipment to assure the efficient daily operation of their facility.<\/p>\n
\nVascular sonographers use state-of-the-art ultrasound equipment and other forms of non-invasive testing to detect the presence of arterial diseases that can cause stroke, renal failure, gangrene, amputation, and aortic aneurysms and other life-threatening venous diseases that can lead to pulmonary embolism or morbid conditions caused by flood clots, varicose veins, and non-healing ulcerations.<\/p>\n\n
