The University of Cincinnati Advanced Medical Imaging Technology major is a unique, innovative program that offers you the opportunity to become credentialed in two diagnostic medical imaging modalities, while obtaining a bachelor’s degree.
Traditionally, programs specialize in a single diagnostic medical imaging modality and most programs are housed within a certificate or associate degree programs that are 12-24 months in length. The Advanced Medical Imaging Technology program curriculum ensures you are educated in multiple diagnostic medical imaging modalities giving you credentials in both magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear medicine technology.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to generate detailed images of the body.
Nuclear Medicine Technology
Nuclear medicine technology?is a type of imaging that uses small amounts of radioactive substances to help creates a precise picture of the part of the body being imaged. Both imaging techniques help diagnosis and detect disease and analyze human anatomy.
After completing the program, you will meet national board eligibility requirements in both MRI and nuclear medicine technology and be able to take the licensing examinations. UC student pass rate of nationally administered board examinations dramatically exceed national averages for all modalities.
The clinical or professional portion of the curriculum will allow you to have individualized placements at some of the best medical and imaging facilities in the region. You will also gain research skills that will distinguish you from other credentialed students from associate or certificate programs.
Graduates are in a better position to advance within the profession, accepting positions of greater responsibility, and are prepared for continuing their education with a graduate or professional degree.

Advanced Medical Imaging Technology program graduates generally employed as magnetic resonance imaging technologist and nuclear medicine technologist and are employed in hospitals, medical centers, outpatient clinics, and research facilities. Advancement in this field may involve promotion to supervisory and administrative positions, equipment and pharmaceutical sales, product support, and teaching.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job outlook for MRI technologists is expected to grow 9% by 2028 (much faster than the national average) and the current median pay is $62,280 per year. The job outlook for nuclear medicine technologists is expected to grow by 7% (much faster than the national average) and the current median pay is $77,950 per year.
Your Bachelor of Science in Advanced Medical Imaging Technology may also be used as a point of entry to graduate or medical school, should students seek to further their education.
