Radiologic Technology (BS)

The Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Technology at Minot State University offers two study tracks: radiologic technology (x-ray imaging) and diagnostic sonography (ultrasound). Radiologic technologists work with radiologists to perform imaging tests like X-rays and MRIs while ensuring patient safety and operating specialized equipment. Diagnostic sonographers use ultrasound technology to help doctors make accurate diagnoses by capturing and analyzing images of the body. Both tracks prepare students for essential roles in healthcare, with opportunities for hands-on experience in medical imaging.
