Medical Radiation Technology

Play a critical a role in diagnosis and treatment of illness and injury.

Fanshawe's Medical Radiation Technology (MRT) Program provides you with the academic requirements for a career as a Radiological Technologist.

The Radiological Technologist aids in the diagnosis and treatment of disease and injury by producing high quality images using ionising radiation (x-rays) while ensuring the radiation and safety of patients and personnel.

In addition to specialized technical expertise, Radiological Technologists should have a strong knowledge of human anatomy, as well as good interpersonal and communication skills.

Radiological Technologists work as members of the health care team in a variety of hospital settings including areas such as General Radiography, Emergency Departments, and Operating Rooms, while performing such procedures as computed tomography (CT), angiography, mammography, and mobile radiography.

You will develop technical imaging expertise through a combination of classroom instruction and lab work in Fanshawe's new digital, state of the art MRT lab.

You will also gain invaluable hands-on experience by completing a 52-week clinical placement at one or more of our affiliated clinical hospitals commencing in your second year.

As a graduate of the MRT program you will be eligible to write the national certification exam of the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists and go on to work as a Radiological Technologist in the Diagnostic Imaging Department of a hospital or medical clinical clinic.

Medical Radiation Technology is a three year Ontario College Advanced Diploma Program.
