Objectives of BSc Medical Imaging Technology

BSc Medical Imaging Technology program at Tribhuvan University aims to fulfill the needs of the students  for following objectives:

  • To understand the general anatomy and physiology of the human body so that graduates can successfully interpret radiographs of different body parts.
  • To educate them about the general physiology of the body and how pathogens modify it, leading to various diseases.
  • To provide knowledge of both conventional radiography techniques and modern imaging techniques.
  • To instruct certain alternative procedures that are not routinely executed but may be necessary in emergency or complicated cases.
  • To train them in generating essential information about patients' health, which is crucial for preventing, diagnosing, and treating diseases.

Career and Scope

Undergraduates in medical imaging techniques have very promising career prospects. They can work as Radiographers, Radiologic Technologists, MRI specialists, Endoscopy specialists, Elastography specialists, Nuclear Medicine Technologists, X-ray Technicians, and Ultrasound Technicians, among others. They can find employment in hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, medical laboratories, various healthcare organizations, health insurance sectors, research institutes, and NGOs/INGOs. Additionally, bachelor graduates can work as medical advisors, managers, teachers, supervisors, and in other roles. They also have the option to pursue foreign studies and build a successful career thereafter. The healthcare sector is incomplete without medical imaging, so graduates pursuing this field should be optimistic about their future.
